Who is going to tell the cops that their porn site ripped them off? I suppose the same class of people who complain that their dope wasn’t cut correctly.

A little known factoid re the AOL/Time Warner merger and debacle is that most of AOL’s revenue to that point was from porn. Go figure.

Had your ID stole, did ya? :)

There are also some conservative sites that at times have been dangerous to visit.... Atlas Shrugs has a great message but has been a mess of a site. All conservative sites have powerful enemies.

Great new opportunities for TARP and TARP II spending:

- Spend money to protect porn surfers from getting hacked.
- More money to help those that did get hacked recover their losses
- Still more money to help rehabilitate those addicted to internet porn
- Even more to help those who lost their jobs due to surfing porn at work

The one time I really got hacked bad ... they corrupted my boot sector ... was clicking on a link at FR!

Be wary of the blog-floggers!

I was visiting my brother. I got on his computer to check the weather because there were bad storms moving through, every 4 or 5 seconds a pop up came up asking me to buy free lesbian porn.

I clicked that off and turned the computer off when his wife work in.

I don’t think or I atleast hope my brother is not the type that spends hours looking at that garbage, but he ended up with some serious spyware and adware.

Certainly no one at the SEC.

I simply maintain a poisonous credit rating. People who steal my identity end up paying me to take it back ;-)

“They have almost inadvertently created a whole ecosystem that’s easy to abuse for cyber crime on a large scale,....”

Yeah, people into vice accidentally create a system making it easy to rip people off. What a coincidence!

Another dangerous area is looking for warez or hacks and cracks- if you go looking for illegal software, what sort of hackers are you likely to run into?

Just like the people in the videos, internet porn sites are full of viruses, trojans, and bugs of all kinds.

A “shady” porn site,,, When other porn sites call you shady, it’s time to look REALLY hard into the mirror.

In other dramatic front page stories, “Pope Still Catholic”, “Bankers Richer Than Yesterday” and a startling back page expose about what bears do in the woods!!

when you say “been a mess”, how do you mean? My browser was crashing there, say 18-24 months ago. It doesn’t now

[Dallas59]

Just buy magazines.

Visitors to porn sites are at serious risk of being exploited by cyber criminals, a study has suggested.

Nooo! Really?
