Daily Cal shows no way to prevent the lure of phishing

The Daily Cal's article on phishing, phony emails that try to lure people to fake websites and divulge account information, had one crucial element missing: an outline of tips for preventing it. There is some good advice at the Anti-phishing work group. While I don't expect prevention tips when every crime happens, it's good to have them when you report on a specific type of crime and not just an incident of it.
