Porn sites can also be downloaded onto your phone, without your knowledge.
Wish caution to avoid was this simple. There are also emails being disguised to appear as if the email came from someone one would know. Lots of emails have been appearing which appear perfectly legit but are not. Have been encountering what would appear to be perfectly legit emails till opening and finding out the email was not from whom was led to believe by appearance. Then backtracking has to take place.
one addition bit of information ... these types of emails have been making their way into the system for nearly ten years.
didn’t the FBI or something get caught trying to upload kiddie porn on some organizations computers, not long ago??
There is a good chance that it was Obama’s FBI that did this, so reporting to them is probably fruitless
NSA?
This is what America has sunk to in the age of Obama.
Except that if you keep a record of the report, it makes prosecution pretty difficult for them.
I did this 15 years ago, when I kept receiving email with kiddie porn in it from an address in the Netherlands. Never heard any more about it.
Well it used to be messages from someone who is traveling abroad pleading for cash. Looks like that has change.
One final bit of information and I’ll be quiet. Began noticing about ten years ago emails coming in that had the full email address of person one suspected was legit but was not the case. Want to be clear ... the email had the full CORRECT email address of the person sending and was using the email as a trap. This occurred on what was thought to be secure email by the parties send out the phony email. Everything looked legit till opening. The best suggestion is to view, as was stated by Oath Keepers the email with opening the email to determine if the email is legit. Takes more time but is well worth the effort. One final bit of information ... If an email is in question of being legit, call the supposed sender to verify or email and ask.
my apology ... with opening the email should be WITHOUT opening the email. Huge error from me. Dang, need more coffee.
Good laugh here for an early Sunday morning.....OJ: "I'm gonna investigate and find out who killed Nicole [fist bang on table]"
This is exactly the sort of thing I thought about when the news of government demanding password lists popped up a week or so back.
They could send child porn or anything else from your email address.
I have had SPAM sent from what was supposed to be my own email address... did they not think I would be suspicious? Sometimes I send myself stuff, they must have gotten a list of emails I received from somewhere.
My email address was temporarily hacked a couple years back from the Dominican Republic (or via that country) so I suspect it was them.
bump
A couple weeks back wasn’t there word of an undercover agent trying to infect someones computer with kiddie porn?
Thanks GeronL. Your information is always Great.
I understand why they did this, but that sentence just sounds odd.
If you’re getting “spam” from yourself, you should be concerned that your computer has been compromised by a botnet. Botnets were created to send spam in order to get around IP level blocking. Leaving your computer on and connected to the internet at all times with no firewall or poor security invites this. “They” don’t think anything, their level of care is right up there with a credit card thief who will run up online charges to the card with a sketchy delivery address until denied, then the whole thing gets deleted. Complaining to the site sending the spam will only make it worse, since you verify that it’s an active e-mail address, same with phone calls, they’re coming from offshore, not under this jurisdiction, so what do they care about our laws.
