Trainer’s Note

If participants are using pirated copies of Windows, this is extremely dangerous and they should prioritize buying a license if they want to continue using proprietary software (Windows and OSX). If there are a number of participants who cannot afford licenses and are unlikely to use open source, try to see if you can find an organization to provide them with licenses. Otherwise, they should consider using open source operating systems instead.

For a case study of how an organization can be compromised by a spearphishing attack, this may be useful – it also illustrates how exploited email accounts of IT staff can be used once the initial email has been successful.
