Viral Woes

Thursday, August 21, 2003

Like many of you, I’m sure, I got blasted by a whole mess of (over 3000) e-mails infected with the Sobig virus. 

I’m on a mac, so these things are never a real threat to me—just an annoyance.

But I’d like to send a message to the hackers out there who write these little stingers:  Get a little more creative.  Even if someone I knew sent me an e-mail with the subject heading “wicked screensaver” I’d still delete it on principle.

Try something a little more inticing.  Instead of “re: your account” how about “re: those naked photos of Britney Spears”?

Instead of “A cool movie” why not a little more detail, like “A cool movie of a man getting kicked in the scrote by a donkey”?

These are just ideas of course, but it’s something to think about.

Matt --> How come you don’t have comments on your blog? You should make that blog that people can comment to, like Johnny’s blog. Think about it!!
