Okay, Hugh -- how about posting what the
alternative Internet program/application is you propose the club could use?

Yet another
reason why all users shouldn’t have to (involuntarily) receive every email
sent to the group on every subject… Yahoo Groups is an outmoded method
of communicating among enthusiasts. Thanks-
Yahoo has been trying to keep their
system-wide hack under cover for months - it was revealed only in the last two
weeks that they had hackers in their system.
I
believe my ff-guy account is fixed now but I'm changing Passwords on every
account I've got. It is my understanding that several million accounts
were hacked.
There
appear to be interesting and subtle differences between the
messages.
Mine
had a subject line of “Favor” and said:
Can
you do me a favor please
There
was no link, my first name did not appear and JL’s name and address on the
“From” line were his standard issue. Maybe special treatment for men
named John?
I did
open the email but nothing happened. Perhaps my virus filters stripped
something out or John’s list went to different hackers with differing
MO’s.
Thanks
for sharing. I needed to raise my paranoia
level.
On
reflection, it is nice to drive a nice old lettercar that requires me to have
at least one hand on the wheel, contains no nanny or black box, does not have
a “Check Engine light” and is not subject to hacking or tracking. It’s
computers are pretty much analog-TorqueFlite, distributor, alternator
regulator, carbs, relays, switches, circuit breakers, remote-boosted power
brakes, shocks & etc.
We
need to french fry whoever did this stuff..
The text seemed aborted on
repetition/ forwarding - that worries me. As if
it was somehow preventing
exposing the words used.
What it said was ; "John, can you do me a
favor?,
John L "
So customized, brief, not a generic plea. Most
of us would open that?
Then , upon opening, it went to the scam about
sick relatives in foreign
countries.
I am well aware of this kind of
thing, not stupid, but the first email was
,to me very sophisticated??
played on someone who in fact respects John a
lot,---I paused briefly-- and
then thought "he needs something about 300's"
.
What a slime ball.
French fry till a toasty critter.

As I understand it, a hacker steals an
e-mail list, then sends the same
message to all on the stolen list to
confirm the address is still in service
and of some value to someone
somewhere. Then the hacker puts a million
addresses or so on storage media
and peddles them around the world. The
first victim will never know their
list was stolen until someone tells them.
Recipients that delete before
opening are slightly better off as their
e-mail address won't be on this
particular list. In this case there did not
appear to be any pictures or
attachments that might have a virus to plant on
the recipient's computer.
Don't blame John or block his pretty cool e-mail address. He has
much
knowledge and experience to share.
I'm kinda of a French fry
guy myself.
