      There is a concept in industrial safety that basically says: "It's not enough to make it possible for someone to do the safe thing and advise them to do it. Beyond that, you must make it easy to do the safe thing and harder work to do the unsafe thing."pic.twitter.com/1q5t8FeFwq

      Ironically, the transition away from security messages by dialog box has probably steered more people in the direction of enabling malicious content. Here's the warning from Office 97. Progress? https://insights.sei.cmu.edu/cert/2016/06/who-needs-to-exploit-vulnerabilities-when-you-have-macros.html …pic.twitter.com/rs7MeSdG3p

      It's funny, after I wrote that I was trying to remember where I had read/watched an item a while ago that tracked the (regressive) evolution of the enable macros UX from 97 to present. Turns out it was this CERT article.

      FWIW, I think I agree with the suggestion. Though I'm sure there are a number of factors behind the re-emergence of malicious macros (the increasing difficulty of exploit dev, for eg.), I'd be quite surprised if dropping the warning UI in Office 2010 wasn't a contributor.

      The warning bar is it currently stands is a perfect target for the social engineering we're seeing in the wild to convince users to click the "Enable Content" button.

          No question. Arguably today it's the most iconic embodiment of SE that there is.
