It is easy when the users freak out over something and go to a web page for
more information .  All it takes is one phone call.

I remember a few years back how a released hacker showed on something like
60 min or ??? just how easy it was to get PEOPLE to break security rules.

He would go dumpster diving for email that someone printed.  We are all to
proud to post at the bottom of our message who we are and how to get in
touch with us.

Anyway when he had a direct # and name he called and said that he was doing
a routine check and had the people repeat their userid / pw .  Granted that
this was years ago but people would tell him the info.

So once your in and you have access to the network then you can do a lot of
crazy shit.
