03/08/2005 Entry: "The nightmare of phishing"

Jim explains the nightmare of getting phished.

I've gotten two, count 'em, TWO phishing emails today. Just don't EVER login to anything EVER if anyone EVER asks you to. It's a cheap trap, just don't do it. Any respectable swindler would have the wherewithal to hack directly into your account.

Full disclosure: I did get phished once, but my credit union was all over it and saved my ass, thus teaching me a valuable lesson: NEVER LOG IN IF SOMEONE SENDS YOU A LINK IN AN EMAIL ASKING YOU TO.

Hello Readers! If you're still liking what you're reading here, you can help out with the webhosting bill with a donation, if you are so inclined. In addition to my eternal gratitude, you'll have the comfort of knowing I won't be spending it on frivolous things like food or the electric bill or something.

One of the best deals anywhere.

Donations to keep us going are very welome!

Our webhost, is a really good deal and is probably having a huge sale on something as we speak. If you're looking for webhosting, I recommend them very much.
