Mr Yang sent me an email just now. He wants…my services…? Or something. He’s not my type. My type doesn’t have a filthy virus. Plus he is a dude.
Care for a dalliance? He’s all yours. Wear something rubbery.
Great article here: Data scams have kicked into high gear as markets tumble
As the markets tank, criminals are releasing a barrage of scams. In September 2009 there were a record 31,000 viruses released daily. That’s EVERY DAY! Criminal hackers are taking full advantage of the down economy and the overall panic and confusion of the millions of people whose lifetime investments are tanking and others who’ve lost their jobs.
Organized criminals in the form of webmobs are well funded and out for blood. They are breaching your home PC when your kid installs a malicious program to play a game, they are going after mom and pop small businesses all the way up to major enterprise networks.
5 years ago criminal hackers would compromise your machine and wreak havoc. They’d delete your files or crash your machine. Not any more. They want your machine running smooth and efficient.
Your computer network is an asset to organized criminals. They utilize your computing power as a “botnetâ€, which is a robot network of computers connected to the internet sitting in your home or office. All computers connected to a botnet share something in common, usually a virus that allows for a remote control component and someone or a group of crackers controlling it. They use your PC to do the dirty work sending out more spam, offers and phish emails.
Often your PC would be used as a server to host spoofed websites designed to extract data from the not so savvy who become victimized.
Many of today’s problems stem from applications we use every day that are vulnerable to attack. In criminal hacker forums, viruses are bought and sold that will infect a web based banner advertisement that may incorporate Adobe Flash player. Once the ad is clicked, or not, all you have to do is launch the page in some cases, a piece of code, or malware infects your PC and you become a zombie PC.
Running anti-virus, keeping your operating systems critical security patches updated, firewalls, updating your applications and not being stupid can prevent most attacks.
Here is an appearance discussing an attack on peripherals on Fox News

Wednesday April 8, 2009. I am in contact with Ming Yang in Hong Kong. He is sharing x million USD coming from HK to Madrid Spain to my about to be opened account, I pay initial deposit. Has anyone experienced this Gentleman and been sent an ID which I have.
Warnings, experiences, please!
I also have receive an email from Mr. Ming Yang, he said that he has an obscured business suggestion for me.. but I’ll never answer any of this type of mail, but the word “obscured” got my attention, I though that was something diabolic, jajajaja!
Wow this Ming Yang gets around! He’s just changed jobs – he is now Principal Assurance Manager with the Hauxia Bank in China. He wrote (snail mail no less!) to inform me that one Alfred (same sirname as me) had been killed in an accident in China, died intestate, leaving $10 million US which Ming has kindly offered to split with me. I have just ordered my new Sunseeker/Ferrari/Lear Jet in anticipation of receiviung the funds shortly. How lucky can a guy get!!
I think he is two timing you, as I have today had a similar letter from Ming yang the Principal Assurance Manager of Hauxia bank,
regarding Alfred (same surname as me). I don’t see how he can split it with both you and me!!
By the way there is no such bank as the Hauxia Bank, only the Huaxia Bank
I too have received a letter saying that a Mr. Yao Hang is the Principal Assurance Manager with the Hauxia Bank in China. He wrote (snail mail no less!) to inform me that one Alfred (same sirname as me) had been killed in an accident in China, died intestate, leaving $8.35 million US which Ming has kindly offered to split with me. I have no intention of replying but I am wondering if there is a fraud agency that I should report this to.
Please tell me if this is truth, someone recive the money of this Mr. I need your answer Thanks
I know someone who has just received a letter by post from this Mr Liu Ling he also works Hauxia Bank – again like the person above there is a relation same name called Alfred who has left a portfolio of 18.3 million US Dollars. he gives the e mail address on yahoo. This Alfred was also involved in an accident. There must be a lot of Alfred’s who are being killed in Accidents.
