Anyone that blindly clicks links should be fired imo it's not as though this issue is new or not heard of and it's just not acceptable these days for anyone to do it. I can't remember where i read it but some security company sent out an email with the header of "i love you" with an attachment that apparently showed who loved them and clicking on the attachment sent a message to the security company that it had been opened 10k sent and over 6k reported back it's crazy how many people will do it. Blaming the OS is the easy way out and sounds good to those who don't know any better but if an idiot is at the desk at the right time no OS can protect when it's told not too.
