This was covered pretty well on Slashdot and other big news sites over the weekend. The scam email was one of the more professional cons going around, but it was a scam nonetheless. They were taking advantage, also, of a bug in IE so hopefully few people here could have been victimized. This is another good reason for PKI. If the message was signed with a key, and that key were signed by a number of trustworthy people, it would be possible for you to ascertain the validity of the message. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
