What's so hard for me to believe is that people will still open an unexpected attachment without a second thought! For the few who might have only just gotten on the net, and this is the first ever news alert email, I could see them being taken in. But most people have been on the net for more than a single day - they've seen all kinds of worms and virii come and go... yet they still open that attachment. And too there is always a period of time between the release of malware into the wild and new virus and worm signatures... So unless you know it's a harmless attachment - just don't open it! Anyone who can't figure that out will just have to put up with letting hackers control their machines and maybe even some parts of their lives... *sigh* I have gotten email news alerts – there is NEVER an attachment.

What the hackers fail to realize is those of us who ignore CNN on cable TV will also ignore CNN via the Internet. OK, the link to thes story is in the next blog entry.
