Inept phisher award
I just thought I'd share this little gem with you. It's possibly the most inept phishing email I've seen. The phisher has evidently heard of "ISO 27001" certificates and either hasn't got a clue what that means, or figures most of his victims won't understand.
I have removed the embedded URL for your safety. Who knows what kind of inept malware might be lurking there?
