Re: [CGUYS] Cybercrooks take shine to Apple lineup
Yer right Mark...think Tom was too caught up and typed before he read again. *Antivirus software company McAfee is already warning consumers not to fall for e-mails or ads promising a free or reduced-price iPad if they enter an address . . . and a credit card number. * Obviously it's what you said it was. But those WFB's whomever they are better put up or shut up! uh...yeah.

Re: [CGUYS] Cybercrooks take shine to Apple lineup
I read the article and came away with a different take. The spammers want to make people think they might win an iPad (or other Apple product) so much they will go to a web site and enter their credit card information.

Re: [CGUYS] Cybercrooks take shine to Apple lineup
The claim is that the iPad will soon be pwned. Time for WFBs to put up or shut up. Let's see what happens. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/19/AR2010031905613.html "The iPad is expected to be a target for credit-card thieves and online scammers of all types." The article doesn't say that the iPad will be cracked. It says that stolen credit cards will be used to purchase/steal them for resale in countries where Apple products are more expensive. The PICNIC model is their weapon. Crooks depend on users falling for their phishing emails. Yesterday, I got at least a dozen emails with attachments telling me that the attachment contained my new Facebook password. I got at least as many for PayPal. Somebody must be making the phishing crooks very happy. Few people notice the tiny purchases that they didn't make when they look at their credit card bills. Lots don't even look at the bills. Too many have automatic payment--that's begging for trouble! * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
