Come off it - they first reported this sort of thing three or more years
ago when people could reasonably claim naivete. With all the publicity
there has been about viruses, trojans etc, and all the informatin in PC
mags etc anyone who gets hit only has themselves to blame.
They wouldn't go out and leave their house open, They should know
better. I have no sympathy
Just my opinion...
