      It's not human error. Computers suck. If clicking a link breaks the security of your network, your network wasn't secure anyway.https://twitter.com/cliffordlevy/status/869221970793070592 …

      Yea, but the REASON computers suck and are insecure is 99.999% of the time: USERS BEING LAZY & UNWILLING TO CHANGE *grumpy IT guy, 21 years

      No. There should be nothing risky about opening an email or URL.

      Correct. But then Anges in accounting couldn't still be using Excel 97 & Visual Basic to get spreadsheets to the COO with her macros intact

      Anges is trying to do her job with the bad tools we have given her.

      To a degree, true. But if Agnes could be trained to use 2010, 2013, or 2016 with Win 7, 8 etc we wouldn't be having the problem. But NO...XP

      We should have had sanboxed operating systems, segmentation, proper testing etc. Why is any of this on the user? Unworkable.

          It's unworkable because the C-levels don't see IT as worth giving the necessary budget to, to update OSes, Office versions, and training

          The OS shouldn't need all that. That's the problem.

          To the C-levels, IT is a cost center. Agnes still uses XP and it's CHEAP, so ...no replacement and no need to pay to train her up. 'Viola!

          It makes zero sense for people to relearn workflow with every update. It's an insane system. Sorry this is not on the user.
