Take care when typing a domain name into a browser address bar, because it’s far too easy to fat-finger a key and wind up somewhere you don’t want to go. For example, if you try to visit some of the most popular destinations on the Web but omit the “o” in .com (and type .cm instead), there’s a good chance your browser will be bombarded with malware alerts and other misleading messages — potentially even causing your computer to lock up completely. As it happens, many of these domains appear tied to a marketing company whose CEO is a convicted felon and once self-proclaimed “Spam King.”

IT department sends an email blast to the users: From now on, everyone will use a single login credential for all areas of the network, according to a pilot fish on the receiving end.
Fish’s reaction to single sign-on? “Yahoo! No more numerous account credentials to keep track of for various subsystems within the domain!”
In short order, all users are issued their single login credentials. And someone in IT has thought this through: The new user name and password are the same as for the user’s existing email account. That should make them easier for users to remember.
There’s just one catch.
