I received two very old emails today. Well, the emails were new but the subjects were old. One about Bill Gates sharing his fortune, and the other was trying to find a missing girl. Yes, you guessed it – both hoaxes. The Gates email I think is circa 1999 and the Flores one was a prank from May ’06.
I always get these emails from good friends of mine, and I am always listed along with 10-50 other people. And it really sucks being a security person because I have to craft an email that doesn’t embarrass my buddies and yet stops the madness. Of course, I guess I don’t really have to stop the madness. I think in a lot of cases, these folks simply don’t care that much. I am compelled to make a stand in support of proper "law and order" on the ‘Net, anyway. And be seen as just a little more of a jerk by my friends who could care less about this kind of stuff.
SICK,SICK,SICK.
