I have had phone based phishing attempts several times in the last few months. Usually they call as a member o four HP Accounts Team and our <CEO, Director, Some other IT Management person> referred them to me to get further information. We do have an HP Account Team with a TAM and other support people (We have 4 HP Superdomes and a decent size blade infrastructure) but I know them and they have the appropriate contact information on file. But seriously, the CIO of my company referring people to me? Some project manager I do not have a working relationship with? If they had wanted me to give some person information, I would have gotten an email from them directing me to.
I have had requests for more information on AV we are using, printing, database vendors, etc. On one call I was bored so I kept them on the line with vague generalizations while they tried name after name of who 'really' referred me to them. Two who were no longer with the company. Steven Peck On Tue, Oct 12, 2010 at 9:42 AM, Angus Scott-Fleming <[email protected]>wrote: > On 12 Oct 2010 at 9:22, Kennedy, Jim wrote: > > > I messed up.
