Few Fall For Phishing

For quite some time I've been fantasizing about sending out a fraudulent e-mail and seeing how many people would be fooled. Or to see what people would say back to me. Sometimes I reply to those with sarcastic remarks; would anyone else?

Well, as it would turn out according to this article, Microsoft found out the percentage of their users that fell victim to phishing. While it's hardly the same thing, it's the same idea.

What is that percentage?

.4% or 4 out of ever 1000 people.

That's a pretty small number. Go humanity.
