If you think it would help, sure, pen test them. However, you could be just as effective with a spoofed email that looked authentic. Send them a spoofed email from Walmart, Target, .etc that when they click on it, they get a holiday message from their hacker relative. My father in law brought his PC to Thanksgiving dinner infected with ThinkPoint. He's 80+ and thought that the software he got was from Walmart. Pen testing him would not help. -- Ron Gula, CEO Tenable Network Security http://www.tenable.com _______________________________________________ Pauldotcom mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pauldotcom.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pauldotcom Main Web Site: http://pauldotcom.com
