Non-Repudiation Killed The Worm Star

Our own Mike Murray gets quoted again, this time, its a new MyDoom worm. Putting the mechanics of the worm aside, how many times do we tell people "don't open attachments"? This worm and a few previous have preyed on the user's eagerness to open email from what they think is their friendly tech support team. The question of the day is "when are we going to make non-repudiation part of the norm?" Reading email is second nature, but obviously something about email lures us into assuming the From field is always accurate. Technology, like MTV, has tricked us. We buy P Diddy clothes at 10,000 times the markup and continue our failure to adopt non-repudiation into our every day lives.
