phishing emails

[Jude DaShiell]

another exposure Linux systems have is packet sniffers.  I get them 
regularly on this system.  Nothing of any value or longevity here in any 
event but that doesn't stop them from trying.  Best thing to do is backup 
anything of any value and remove from hard disk.  That way you have it and 
your install disks That's a direct defense against hackers who take files 
hostage and demand $200 by email for the keys to decrypt those files 
unless you're a windows user.  Best advice for windows users is in 
addition to backing files up, learn ms-dos because if the hackers encrypt 
win.bat that's what you're going to run until you figure out how to clear 
the situation.
