Notice that all the links don't point to ISACA's website, but to a third party, informz.net. Now I don't know who informz.net are - most likely a marketing company tracking clicks from the ISACA email but frankly I don't care. ISACA seems oblivious to the fact that it looks very similar to a million phishing emails in my deleted folder, which is exactly where this one is headed.
Come on ISACA, get with it! We expect leadership by example!
[PS Hopefully I have managed to prevent the blogging software interpreting the link text as active URLs. Please don't fix and click those links just to satisfy your curiosity. That's like kicking a bomb to see if it's armed ...]
