With some people, Milverton, they don't know enough to know that something is suspect! Some are too trusting, and assume that because it says it is from uncle Fred, that uncle Fred actually sent it, and Fred doesn't have a mean bone in his body. There is more than one hint in these recent messages, including the address itself, and the fact that it is usually just a one liner indicating that you have to go to a linked site to see something. Get street smart when it comes to the internet. I still maintain, that it is like driving, flying, and other things. Some people just "don't belong" on the internet. And that's not to point a finger at ANYONE specifically.

Re: [Elecraft] Lee's HiJack Mail
Years ago I belonged to a couple of reflectors on Yahoo. Then when I changed ISP's I did not resubscribe as a lot if not most of the spam I received seemed to come to the address that I did nothing but reflectors with. Now my spam is about 1% of what it used to be. And the ISP sorts most of it out for me before I see it. As always YMMV. And I dropped AOL like a hot rock when the first local ISP opened up.

It's probably a good idea for us all to change our Yahoo passwords. Just an observation based on what I've seen here and also on other discussion groups . . .

Re: [Elecraft] Lee's HiJack Mail
Been hacked once on Facebook and I now never open strange links. It was supposedly from my cousin who saw me at a concert which I actually attended and turned out to be Turkish porn that was sent to all my relatives including older folks. I was so embarrassed when Uncle Pete in Sheboygan emailed me and asked why I would send him porn. Yikes! Never again I have vowed!! So all weird links even from my own mother are deleted.

Re: [Elecraft] Lee's HiJack Mail
>>> that is about the only thing you can do.<<<< Lee I gotta disagree with you. The best thing to do, and this has been preached before Al Gore discover the internet. DO NOT OPEN LINKS that looks suspecting. If you have doubts, don't open it If you just can't resist yourself, then run it through your Virus Protection System. Everyone should have some sort of Anti Virus on their machine! I hope! OPENING suspecting LINKS is giving the spammers the ability to use your address book as they wish.

A bunch of people got these and then I got hacked to. I have changed my password and that is about the only thing you can do. Sorry folksthe Internet is the Wild, Wild West. Lee K0WA In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply. If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it. If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense. Is Common Sense divine? Common Sense is the image of the Creator expressing revealed truth in my mind. - John W.
