With today being "buy an Apple phone" day it should not be surprising that there are already some phishing emails going around to try and take advantage of the publicity.

A variation on the many phishing emails we see regularly, just taking advantage of two public events, the celebrity photos and the release of the new phone.

Maybe a reminder to staff as well as friends and family to ignore emails that say "click here"

Happy buying a phone day or if not phonically inclined, happy talk like a pirate day, or just plain enjoy your Friday.
