This and That
Be vigilant and be aware. Many people have received emails from others claiming that someone has hacked into their computers and recorded their use of sexually explicit sites. This
is a scam and is addressed in a recent publication from SANS, a security training company, at https://www.sans.org/security-awareness-training/resources/personalized-scams.
Contact Jonathan Goldman if you have any questions.
