Re: [californiadisasters] ADMIN READ: (was: Email Alert)

While the original email alert was important for this group, the continued
discussion of Internet security issues is Off-Topic.

Any further discussion of this, please post to the Discussion group only
(where I've cross-posted this).

This is not the first time China has done this. They have been testing our
systems for years now.

If a Foreign Government is behind this, would this not be an act of war???

China hijacked the Net for a little while and that may also contribute to
the increase in spam and hacking of personal emails.

Maybe I'm lucky the power supply on my main computer went Kaput. I'm
currently using an older Vaio my Son-in-law had in spare. I've done a little
upgrading for him as a "thank you."

Achtung Gruppe!

Yesterday I received the below official-looking message seemingly from
Google Mail but it is not actually from them.

Had I responded to this message (which I did not) as the senders had hoped
my Google Mail account would now be under the control of a spammer who would
have by now already sent out a spam (or scam) message(s) replete with a
link(s).

This would have included a posting on all the Yahoo Groups to which I'm a
member and for which there is posting address saved in my Google Mail
address book.

It is by means of such insidious stratagems (and it seems to have gotten
really bad this year compared to previous) that these vermin are gaining
control of respectable group member's email accounts or Yahoo Groups
accounts and spamming them.

See how easy this can happen and how fast things can get out of hand?

Do not succumb to such nefarious enticements.

If in doubt, DON'T !!!
