BBC NEWS | Technology | Scam hits more e-mail accounts

Kind of eerie. Makes me wonder if I should change my password.

And reminds me of a spam thread I saw at Couples yesterday, offering up info on anyone's email-password, if we only mailed the name of the one we wanted the password of to a given email adress.

I'm fairly paranoid about online shenanigans myself, but I'm not too fussed about this one. I figure, I'm doing as much as I can to protect myself. I'll deal with the rest when it comes.

Also, nice to see you back on the N&P thread.

It seems that whenever you use the Internet these days you're always taking a big risk.

Yeah, I know I've been MIA on this board for a little while. Havent had too much to say

But I read this newspiece and connected it to

spam, so I figured I'd drop by with it

Hopefully, people understand the risks when they get online.
