After my previous post on an unsolicited phone call experience I had first-hand, claiming to be from the 'Windows technical team' about 'virus on my computer' (No, it is not from Microsoft!), I've realized that being alert on the internet is no longer enough. Home phones have started to ring bringing thieves right in. However, the internet still stands tall as the most thriving place of the 'bad' trying to getaway with your money!
If you have become an on-line shopper, a 'must-read' by Scott Hanselman this week, What geeks need to tell our parents about shopping online safely and securely is not to be missed by not just moms and dads of geeks but all those who are purchasing online.
Hanselman says "If you (or Mom) had the Web of Trust installed, this is what you would have seen when visiting an evil site like this. I'm installing this free tool on Mom's machine today. It's a browser plugin that uses other people's experience to augment yours!"
