This is a serious business.
holes in amazon now resolved and holes in apples customer support
phone service enabled hackers to get billing address and credit card
info so they could hack into the system.
It should be coman sence and to be honest I have some misstrust in
relying on the net as a hole.
I have 2 hard drives 1 external for every day and 1 other for
backing up things.
Yes the cloud has dropbox which has quite not much just stuff that if
I lost it I’d be pissed but nothing bad.
Don’t link your facebook and or twitter.
in fact don’t use either if you can help it.
Don’t do any micro blogging or anything like that I don’t.
read http://smeveriss.wordpress.com for my rant.
I am moving away from here for anything large like this.
Reason is because this is a family site I can’t rage.
If you are a child and read this don’t click my blog link just the articles.
if you read this blog first and want to continue hearing my rage full
out then go on to smeveriss.wordpress.com
Remember you can comment.
please comment on here and my blog.
is my aol email and an msn
is my current msn
shaun_everiss is my skype.
See, I don’t keep secrets.
I have nothing online to hide.
If someone decides to hack my wordpress and rage then I may rage back.
I am bored enough to do so and one day someone raged at me on lj.
I raged at him for ages and ages.
the blog is dead but if you ever read it then you would know what my rage is.

Re: Scam Alert – Emails from the Internal Revenue Service
Emails From The Internal Revenue Service Telling You to Update Your Information-Fiction! & Scam!
Very official looking emails allegedly from the Internal Revenue Service are circulating the World Wide Web informing readers to update their information.
This is a phishing scam that may also be linked to websites that could possibly infect your computers.
Do not click the links in these emails.
We received several versions of these emails in a matter of minutes and that is a good indication to us that this one has gone viral.
For more details and samples go to:

Where has the podcast gone?
I’ve been doing some reading on different things, and I’ve also had some thoughts about some things I’ve read, and I just haven’t really decided what to talk about on this podcast. I’ve been also contemplating on discontinuing the podcast altogether, and only use the blog to comment on stuff that I read and you can comment if you wish. E-mail me and give me your thoughts. As a side note, all podcasts on the RSS feed have been removed.

This is ridiculous: Microsoft no longer accepts long passwords, shortens them for you
I just read This is ridiculous: Microsoft no longer accepts long passwords, shortens them for you and I think this is rediculous. I know that I’ve probably seen worse with the Apple vs Samsung case, but that was different. This is security, and this needs to be fixed. Steve Gibson has always said that longer is better, and yes, 16 characters should be enough in theory, but with possibly being hacked as Hotmail was and outlook may in the future, this security stuff needs to be done right. I suggest people check out this article, and report your thoughts where appropriate.
