Accidentally-sent email could end up costing UBS $10 million - SC Magazine UK

Ever got that feeling when you hit Send on an email and reliase its gone to the wrong person...or it was the wrong file? Just imagine how this person must have felt: Accidentally-sent email could end up costing UBS $10 million - SC Magazine UK

This again screams out the importance of raising security awareness programs in organisations. Yes, there will always be a risk associated with human error (a very very big risk) but I believe with a strong and relevant security awareness program the organisations can try and limit these risks.

Once again this highlights the weakest link in the IS strategy - us, humans!
