OPPORTUNISTS STRIKE AGAIN

Whenever things start to look good in the markets, it can be expected somebody with no effort involved to date will try to cash in on the bonanza.  An article in BBC News writes:  "A new type of malware infects PCs using file-share sites and publishes the user's net history on a public website before demanding a fee for its removal."

Blackmail seems to be blackmail wherever it is practiced but, obviously, it is more difficult for some to withstand when it is job threatening.  It continues "The Japanese trojan virus installs itself on computers using a popular file-share service called Winny, used by up to 200m people."  One reported victim is a school headmaster in Japan."

The threat to porn site surfers  gets far more dangerous than ever before.  The Bible discourages Onanism (the do-it-yourself method), so many resorted to the vicarious pleasure of porn.  Now that, too, has become far more dangerous than your spouse finding you at it.  While it may be encouraged in the doctor's office for in vitro implantation of donor sperm it is hardly the heart and soul of porn.

The far right would take away any pleasures of flesh for their believers, but for those for whom it is not immoral, these blackmailers surely are causing grave and heart wrenching problems and debits...to say nothing of the fear of being found out with threats of making it all public!

It certainly suggests that sharing on a computer is not advisable.  Even choosing your friends can be risky, as many find out.  Friends aren't always what they would have you believe.  You can rest assured, that Internet 'friends' are even riskier.
