Consider this simple scenario:

I'm Mr mega-trojan distributor, and I've decided that a good new social
engineering trick is to include a footer on each of my spammed
trojanised emails.

Do I need to explain in any detail or have you figured it yet?

Such footers are at best misleading, at worst lulling people into a
false sense of confidence.

Cheers,

Phil
