New Porn site trick, had people freak at the law firm
When I was doing helpdesk, I got a call from the director of marketing. Told me to come up to her office, wouldn't say why. She opened an email, browser windows started popping up, the faster she closed them the faster they came up.

The contents were not work appropriate.

Not knowing the three-finger salute, she powered it down and called me. I calmly fixed her issue, and promised to explain to "anyone who might be looking at log files" that she wasn't really looking at that stuff.

New I have heard of that, now that you mention it.
Even though I will admit to browsing some salacious sites from time-to-time, I forget that people get hit with that nasty trick because I've been using Opera for years (and never used Outlook for internet mail) which has had popup blocking for some while.

Interesting term that: 'work appropriate'. Without giving too much away, I work for a company that needs to research that sort of thing. So we have a Malware network, where this sort of thing is provisionally allowed, and a Corporate network where it is not. I remember in my first few weeks seeing porn on some employee's PCs, plain as day. But, of course, it was connected with researching malware infection sites. So.
