Hilarious\u2026 <\/p>\n
I just got an email that LOOK<\/strong>s like it\u2019s from my ISPs tech support stating that my email box was over it\u2019s size limit and that I need to send my username date of birth and my password. I guess they think people are stupid\u2026 It is true that some people don\u2019t understand how the Internet works and all that jazz, so here is an example of a phishing attempt:<\/p>\n Return-Path: <???@cox.net> Your MailBox Has Exceeded It Quota As Set By Your Administrator And you Can Not Be Able To Receive Or Send New Mails Until You Re-Validate. ToRe-Validate your account, enter your account informations below" <\/p>\n Email: Account owner that refuses to maintain his or her account will looseaccount. permanently from our site. Warning Email user that refuses tomaintain his\/her account we have the account deactivated permanently. <\/p>\n Thanks for using Cox, IF you happen to hit reply it goes to ba3@onfruit.cn<\/font><\/strong><\/a> which is where they harvest your email username and password and then lock you out of your own account. The message certainly wasn\u2019t going to go to MY ISP.<\/p>\n In this case the true stupid ones here are the originators of the message because they can\u2019t spell or use proper English.<\/p>\n Always check stuff before you click on it. It\u2019s very easy to get a virus or lose control of your account.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hilarious\u2026 I just got an email that LOOKs like it\u2019s from my ISPs tech support stating that my email box was over it\u2019s size limit and that I need to send my username date of birth and my password.
