Interesting reading!

W :eek: W!!
Wow... that is all actually very interesting. I feel nerdy for liking to read about it hehe
Wow! :eek: I delete ANY email from anyone I don't know. Yahoo has a "spam" button that you can click to report it to them.
I trust no one. After my checking account got hit twice, once by aol and another by Freecreditreport.com, if I want to order anything from the internet or otherwise, I send them a money order. I was very lucky in that Citizens bank backed me up on both occasions and went after both companies.
I use Linux, nothing that I don't want ever gets in.
I'm actually surprised the number of attacks was that low.
