A NOTE TO THOSE OF US WITH MONEY ONLINE
there has been a recent rash of accounts hacked into (see EMcWilliams and today Skipolo).
SECURE YOUR SYSTEMS. DO NOT ACCEPT FILES FROM STRANGERS. DO NOT OPEN EXE'S. THIS CAN HAPPEN TO YOU. THERE IS LITTLE TO NO RECOURSE. i know most of us are sitting here thinking 'well i wont be that stupid. i wont open the file. i wont make the transfer.' both EMcWilliams and Skipolo are smart people. this isnt a case of someone being an idiot and getting their just desserts. The scammers are smart, and they know what they are doing. protect yourself. |

Re: A NOTE TO THOSE OF US WITH MONEY ONLINE
Any idea what happened to these guys? What should we look out for? I have a virus scanner, and I use Spybot S&D now, but what else should I do?

I have a good side effect of using Linux. I run XP under VMWare, and that XP installation is used only for poker software. No AIM, MSN or any other programs. VMWare is also available for Windows, so if you're really concerned, this might be a solution.
