Not sure I get what you mean. If someone using myemail@mycompany.com and asking person to give me their logon credentials so I can troubleshoot something, seems like this would work fine. If your point is someone will just...
In reply to: Re: DMARC is not going to stop phishing
@Sara Peters. Thanks for clarifying. Although now I'm appalled that this is a common practice within lenovo machines. The typical end user is most likely unaware and if I were them I would be thoroughly annoyed when I found...

A good article that would be presentable to organization managers. Of course, this is the 50,000 ft level. There are so many security controls to consider that it is easy to get lost in the forest of things that...
