An Update from the Justice Department

Gina Talamona, the Justice Department's Deputy Director for Public Affairs, has asked me to clarify that the department will continue to conduct tests of its employees' awareness of email scams and phishing; it's just that they'll change the way they communicate with agencies that might be implicated by their tests. Apparently, some folks mis-read a line from our story from yesterday to mean that Justice would no longer conduct social engineering tests. That is not the case.
