This is what is called "social engineering". There is no virus scanner in the world that can protect you from it.
They stole our secret plans to teach beavers and deers to become vicious killers that targets the Taliban. Recently leaked footage of one of the test subjects that broke out and went on a crazed rampage from the stress of the secret training http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=76b_1306990786
It was probably Scott. He's a dick

It's the IT paradox that the people with the most access tend to be the least security conscious. Maybe they'll learn not to open crap from the girls in Russia who saw their picture on the internet.
I always have to ask this; but why is this data internet accessible? The #1 way to keep it being stolen is not to present it as a target.

Convenience. Now they don't have to go over to the elevator and press a button to get to their classified information.

Can they not have an internal network with no outside access?

Exactly what I've always wondered.

It's done all the time. One PC on a desk for classified access, another completely separate PC for internet access if their job requires it. Two completely separated networks to carry the data so the external facing one getting hacked cannot compromise the classified one.
In some of the security assessments I've done over the years I've found the best way to hack a system is to get the name of a senior executive and then call the helpdesk and ask for a username and password. I'd say 90% of the time I'm not challeneged to prove who I am and, on some occasions, I've even managed to get the helpdesk people to put their security certificates and VPN software out on an FTP site so I could download them.
Really, why go to all the bother of breaking in when, if you just ask, someone will open the door for you?
