Information Protection and Security

 Yesterday I received a "hot tip" from a friend in the form of an email offering a free laptop from Sony-Ericsson if I forwarded the offer to 8 people on my address list.  I'd get even a better laptop if I sent it to 20.  Too good to be true, right?  Right!  A quick visit to snopes.com answered my question and straightened out my friend.  Not only was there no laptop, but the person's name on the offer never existed.  It was a pretty picture of a nice laptop!  Urban legends, they're also in email.  Check before you send, or you might be sorry!  Stop. Think. Secure IT!
