    Cracking hi-tech crime

    An investigation by the BBC News website has tried to find out the scale of the security risks the net poses to the average user. The BBC honeypot computer was attacked on average every 12-15 minutes.

    Interesting reading!

    Wow! 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.

    MooShoo,you left me too soon.I wasn't ready.Know that you were my soulmate and have left me broken hearted.I loved you like no other. 1999 - 2010See you again "ONE FINE DAY"
    Maya Linn, my heart is broken. The day your beautiful blue eyes went blind was the worst day of my life.I only wish I could've done something.I'll miss your "premium" purr and our little "conversations". 1997-2013 See you again "ONE FINE DAY"

    I'm actually surprised the number of attacks was that low.
