I say

A Short Guide to Company Email Management One of the biggest issues with email, sure, is its persistence. Delete. Delete. Delete. And make sure that you have a policy that supports this. The last thing you want is an investigation to be run on your corporate email servers looking for miscreants. Purging your mail is the best way to avoid libel, employment laws and simply getting caught. As Andersons! But for the individual, the major problem is searching the damnable stuff. Copy and paste into Microsoft Access or write your own macro to turn into text (which I've had to do). I must publish that one day! Suggest we keep our own copies on our own personal storage devices but we can put email in the corporate cloud and let the security team purge it just before the compliance wonks find out. chin chin @InfosecChap
Mac malware disguised as Adobe Flash update ... Proving that malware propagation depends as much on people as technology. It's not their fault. Let's face it, the whole point about the Mac is that it can be used by anyone. The same holds true for other systems not supported by the vendor: for example if you want to play Lego games, you need the Unity player. Which doesn't work for the ipad (or linux). The solution ... the dodgy site offering you a solution for which you need to resolve your malware infestation. The answer? Gawd knows. ditigally sign stuff? Perhaps. Educate users? Perhaps? Revert to pen and paper? certainly! But, so far its not widespread. The final solution? Gulp ... anti malware. What, even on the Mac? chin chin @InfosecChap
