The folks at Carnegie Mellon University, along with Portugal Telecom, have developed a great little game called Anti-Phishing Phil to teach us how to identify phishing scams. Studies have shown that users who played this game were better able to identify phishing scams than users who simply read security tutorials.

I recommend everyone check it out and pass this along to friends and family.
