If only all Security messages could be this clear ¦ What will it take to get users to lock their desktops?

 

Note: I took this picture myself - it's not a fake.

Clearly we don't want to use scare tactics for Information Security but my ongoing frustration with users who fail to bother locking their PC desktop sessions when leaving their machines unattended makes me wish perhaps we could be more direct:

"Do NOT Leave you machine unlocked whilst it's unattended as someone nasty may come along and commit crimes and embarrasing activities in your name using your electronic identity"

- OK so it's hardly eloquent but you get the idea.
