The February edition of the OUCH! security awareness newsletter is out.  As always, you are free to use this newsletter within your organization as part of your security awareness program, or share with your family and friends.  In addition, we know and understand that security awareness is a global challenge, as such we now publish OUCH! in nineteen languages (we just added Hungarian, thanks to the Hungarian CERT). This month we cover Phishing, specifically the different types and how to spot them.  While we covered this topic several years ago, we have received repeated requests to publish an updated version on the same topic.  As email is one of the top human attack vectors, we felt it was definitely time for a refresh and review for folks.  If you have any requests for future topics, please let us know at community@securingthehuman.org.
