cj writes "By Wade-Hahn Chan
The military services and some agencies, including the Homeland Security Department and the Department of Veterans Affairs, can now launch diagnostic phishing attacks against their own workers.
Phishing is a technique of tricking or coercing users into giving up personal information, revealing log-in names and passwords or visiting malware or virus-infected Web sites. The government-sanctioned attacks will be designed to test how well federal workers adhere to organization's e-mail security policies.
The agencies will launch the attacks with Core Security Technologies' CORE IMPACT penetration testing software. The IMPACT software will send keep track of how many employees click on the malicious links. With that information, agencies can gauge the effectiveness of their IT security education program.
