You just don't know who to trust these days when it comes to emails.

It's not just viruses hidden in the news of papal bull, Osama Bin Laden or the latest weirdness in California now we can't trust the IT department.

What's particularly galling about this is that it hits those keen to ensure that they aren't part of the problem. A nasty bit of social engineering that.

Anyway, the cure is simple; call and check. Most administrators will happily exchange a ten second chat for a hours of system clearing. 

Do you agree?
