Play Nice When Phish Training

In an update on the controversy over the Justice Department phishing test, Government Executive reporter Alyssa Rosenberg wrote near the end of her article:

Bryan Lowry, president of the American Federation of Government Employees' Council of Prison Locals called the test "an insensitive act, providing a false sense of hope to its employees that offered to allow these employees the ability to bailout their voluntary contributions in a time when these employees have lost tens of thousands of dollars in the ailing market." He also said that he hoped Justice would consider better cybersecurity training, rather than playing on employees' fears about their retirement funds.

Colleen Kelley, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, said her organization would be happy to work with agencies to design appropriate employee training on Internet security.
