Recently, our corporate e-mail addresses were bombarded by e-mails written in German - the attachments contained a virus. A couple of weeks ago, my personal e-mail address received an e-mail that advised me my account info needed to be updated with Sun Trust Bank. Hmmmmmmm.....I don't have an account with that bank, and, I don't even know if that is a real banking firm. <br /> <br />I also recently had read our gov't. wants to impose huge fines (I believe it was $100,000 or more) for those who install "key logger programs" onto your computer. A key logger will save all of your typing so that these scammers can log into your computer to find account numbers, passwords, etc. <br /> <br />Everyone on-line should purchase some kind of anti-virus, firewall, and spy blocking programs for their home computers. Last month, a study was performed by the Baltimore Sun newspaper by placing 2 computers on-line without any type of hacker or spyware protection. They had found each computer was getting "hit" about 360 times per hour by hackers, scammers, etc. <br /> <br />I wi***hese so called "hackers" would spend their time on making "good programs" instead of making people miserable.
