A friend of mine worked in IT in a bank in Aus (many years ago). The Management decided to bring in a rule, no links to customer logins in the Emails. The management even decided to send out an email to all customers saying "We will never include links to our login pages in our emails to you." But what did the Manager charged with writing the Email do? (Or more likely the Manager's secretary, as the Manager was naturally to important to write such an Email himself). They included a link to access the customer login page at the bottom.
Cue much face palming in the IT department. My mate never did say what happened to the idiot who wrote (or at least authorised) the Email. I'd like to believe they got a kick out the door, but since it was management and not a lowly peon, likely nothing happened...
