Anti-phishing group gets help from Microsoft

Rabid poster on the loose...: Sheesh?That?s a lot of venom to spew at a casual poster like myself. But in all honesty I use XP and keep up with updates and DO NOT follow links from email?my biggest savior is probably the fact that I don?t buy products or services through marketing that is directed to me personally.

In reality, every product lacks some type of constraint that would allow the uninformed user to do serious harm. My cordless drill has no safety guard to prevent me from drilling a hole in my foot. Somehow, I haven?t during any of my home repair projects.

One can perpetrate the same kind of fraud through the mail. You can do it over the phone with caller ID blocking. There is no way to 100% secure any form of data transmission. In fact, as long as people and systems must communicate and share data, there will be the issue of securing the information

This Linux good MS bad bleating (or vice versa) is played and very childish.
