But again, I refer you to my HTML5 example. Should we dumb down what websites are capable of rendering to prevent social engineering via the web?
Strawman; we're talking about email, where the combination of header forging and HTML mis-labeling are what's really dangerous, not web pages.
- laumars 13y agoNo, we're talking about social engineering and the principle is the same regardless of whether it's e-mail or websites. You take a page -be that of an e-mail or website- make it look legitimate, and get people to follow dodgy links or download dodgy programs. You see the same thing with Facebook malware as well (which spreads by social engineering). So maybe we should close Facebook apps down.....actually, I'd be in favour of that last point hehehe. Claiming this is a straw man argument only demonstrates how unwilling you are to view this from another's perspective. At least I've listened to your arguments and come up with potential workarounds.
