Re: [californiadisasters] Admin Read: Email Hijackings By Spammer

Exactly! Only problem is, that email is NOT from your good friend, but from
his/her computer or email account, either of which is being controlled by
someone who is DEFINITELY NOT your friend.

Whenever you get a link or attachment in email, do NOT open it until/unless
you know the person who sent it AND you know that that person actually
knowingly sent it.

(Flip-side: If you send an attachment or a link, always write in the body of
the message to the effect that you're sending this and why, and write in
language your contact(s) will recognize as being you.)
