It may just be me but I've noticed a HUGE increase of these hacked
e-mail postings this weekend. Not just on this reflector but many others too and private e-mail as well. Two of my friends got hacked already today.

Easy fix.
It just takes discipline. Don't click on anything in an email, even if it says it's a picture of puppy's and butterflies from your daughter/grand-daughter. IT Security types have been saying this for years, but some people think it doesn't apply to them or their anti-virus/anti-malware/anti-phishing software will keep them safe... to click with impunity. All of these programs run on virus/malware definitions you receive from the provider. They are ALWAYS at least 12 hours behind on new virii/exploits, and that's the companies who're paying attention. > Gary K9GS <mailto:[hidden email]> > Sunday, September 23, 2012 2:39 PM > It may just be me but I've noticed a HUGE increase of these hacked > e-mail postings this weekend.

Yet another reason to use a browser that is NOT Internet Explorer. Firefox is one alternative. It's not perfect by any means, but it's not IE either, and the user-based support is amazing. I have IE on my system, for those times when I am forced to use it, but fortunately that's only 2 or 3 times a year. But perhaps I am just being a curmudgeon. - Jim, KL7CC On 9/23/2012 12:04 PM, Gary wrote: > Another vulnerability in Internet Explorer has been discovered and patched > just this past week/weekend. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Actually, either Google Chrome or Opera is superior to Firefox as a browser. Firefox has not kept up with changing times and performance.
On my Mac, the fastest browser is Apple Safari but Chrome comes in as a reasonably close second and then Opera. And, all of these blow the doors off of Firefox. And, obviously there is no IE on my Mac so that is a non-issue. But, at work, corporate policy (which I violate every day) is to use IE and it is incredibly slow despite the fact that I have a very fast PC. Both Chrome and Opera are available on a Windows PC too and they are much better then IE or Firefox. My favorite for my at work computer is Opera. Since we do a lot of HTML5 based web application development, IE is not even in the running as a test platform and we rely on Opera and Chrome. Just go to the site: html5test.com and measure your favorite browser's HTML5 support. Oh, Safari is available on Windows but that is not a good choice. Safari screams on a Mac but it is stuck in the slush on a Windows box. Safari is a web-kit based browser and so is Chrome and I think possibly Opera and just about every other browser on the planet. Firefox is of course based on Mozilla Gecko and IE is based on IE junk.
