Don’t be duped (and it can happen to anyone)

October 9, 2009

Marion and I got the call last night from our bank that our account could be compromised and we should change our password right away. It’s the first thing we did this morning. You see we’re a little sensitive to having our bank account hacked after an online phishing scheme almost cost us a couple of thousand bucks a few months back. Now comes word that it can happen to anyone.fbi_chief

This piece comes from the Gizmodo site.

Seems FBI Director Robert Mueller has admitted to nearly being duped by an email phishing scam. He told Commonwealth  Club of California forum attendees that he recently responded to an email that appeared to come from his bank, stopping only when he was asked for his password.

If you get a telephone call or an email asking for your password or any other personal information delete/trash/vapourize immediately.
