What are the goals of this class?

• Put you on the forefront of an active research
  topic and turn you into the first generation of
  phishing (and anti-phishing) experts. However, we
  will also deal with other exciting topics - it is
  all up to you what we will cover.

What if phishing were legal?

• A new IPO frenzy
• Telecommuting glory
• But probably just same number of victims
