State Govts. Warned of Malware-Laden CD Sent Via Snail Mail from China
Here's a timely reminder that email isn't the only vector for phishing attacks: Several U.S. state and local government agencies have reported receiving strange letters via snail mail that include malware-laden compact discs (CDs) apparently sent from China, KrebsOnSecurity has learned.
This particular ruse, while crude and simplistic, preys on the curiosity of recipients who may be enticed into popping the CD into a computer. According to a non-public alert shared with state and local government agencies by the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC), the scam arrives in a Chinese postmarked envelope and includes a "confusingly worded typed letter with occasional Chinese characters."
Please insert in election computer.

Well, if you're minmaxing it makes sense to spend a skill point or two to get the true name knowledge for the additional buff. What class would true name knowledge fit under? Priest? Druid? Mage? I suppose it could be in the skill tree for all 3. Mage is compelling due to the occult nature of true names.
