The other day I received an email from somebody I know. It said click here to see something amazing! It was a standard www.something.com url, so I clicked. The site began by presenting a log in screen which requested, enter your Windows Live ID and password. Would you? Would the normal non-technical user?

Well that just screams PHISH! But a normal user would fill in their password on any site, even if it's http://bankofamerica.com.phish.ro Because they're idiots.

I think my wife would. And it seems that my kid clicked on a "Your computer has a virus! Click here for a free scan!" thing a few weeks ago. :sigh: At least it was on the wife's computer, so I don't much care.

My ex-girlfriend's dad got a virus that told him he had a virus and that he could pay them to get rid of it. He actually paid them. :doh:
