| 817730 | 2009-10-07 04:57:00 | you link to a post which is a link to stuff which is a bit of FUD... any email service can be attacked by a phishing. hotmail, gmail, yahoo and AOL are just the biggest targets. basic computer security... Don’t click on links in email, don’t do it, don’t even think about it. Don’t open attachment in emails, unless you trust then sender then don’t open attachments. Don’t browse to dodgy web sites, this means no searching for warez, porn, free ringtones. Virus scan you computer every week. |

I guess I was just pissed at the previous people saying don't use hotmail, Gmail is secure. |

| 817733 | 2009-10-07 06:15:00 | hotmail or shotmail? Don't get me started on iMail ;) For security, it is safest to use chainmail. Real heavy stuff. |

| 817736 | 2009-10-07 07:16:00 | A lot of the times, it seems it is people that are more responsible for breaches of security than applications. | Cato (6936) | ||
