watch what you download from email
 

I wake up this evening and I have 10 emails -

mostly files with .zip attachments - saying my username and password are attached - it's come from half a dozen different sources.

Whenever I see a burst like this, there is a very good chance someone found a new exploit and is milking it while it's hot...

or maybe my email got flagged for extra activity - either way, I recommend Thunderbird or some non-microsoft program for email at all times and watch what you download.

Try not to hug things that are burning or pointy!

it's just an FYI post - something I haven't seen in a while - a spike of new emails to that particular email address that wasn't spam but phishing attacks I hadn't seen before.

the fact these bastards still spread on a regular basis and cause havoc is living proof that there are still stupid people who download them, and I'm sure OOT has it's fair share. I'd also say betting on the stupidity of humanity, even on OOT, is a safe bet. That's how these guys make money and get passwords.

That's not a funny face. He looks like a Halloween goblin freak with a broken neck.

OOT is dumb when it comes to things like "going outside" and "not drooling in public".

They've probably got the whole computer thing down ok.

I don't know if I've ever laughed this hard here.
