They are probably Premium Adsense publishers, too! - gamerzworld, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8The Mafia already has a front. They just added an extra a. http://mafiaa.org/
- DeFex, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8At least you can be smart and avoid the illegal kind of organized crime. The government on the other hand....
- diggsIt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Norton's coming out with a new 'Computer Protection Rac... er.. Service'.
- RandomSkratch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4At least the mob won't report you to the RIAA
- diggin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Yeah j3one , because phishing scams only target windows systems. RTFA next time.
Edit - funny, how as fast as I replied you already took back what you said...figures. - sremick, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Anyone who doesn't think this sort of stuff goes on should read this:
http://www.csoonline.com/read/050105/extortion.html
It's a bit old but it's a great example of what sorts of things go on (then and even more-so now). - KoderOne, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3"there is no such thing as the mafia".
- SamKellett, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3God DAMN I thought it was a sequel to the Mafia game for a second.
Way to kick me while I'm down. - surfing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2good article

"I don't know who this guy is, but I want him and his web server... DEAD!"
(reference Pablo Francisco's "Little Tortilla Boy" movie trailer -- swapped "tortillas" out for "web server") - michaelGregoire, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3The title sounds like the makings of a fun new Mac Ad.
- aahpandasrun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1In a related story, Hackers can turn your computer into a bomb and blow your family to smithereens!
(Weekly World News joke) - sremick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have that page hanging on the door to my office :)
- h0dg3s, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Blogspam pure and simple. It would have taken me like 1.5 minutes to write that article.
- daschew, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I thought it was about mafia the game, sadly I was disappointed :(
- merce, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Not if you run the NoScript extension on FireFox
- uownedge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sometimes yes, and sometimes no. As far as phishing goes, it doesn't matter what your OS is. The only requirement is that you're just dim enough to fall for the scam.
When it comes to viruses and malware, then yes, the best protection is to switch to a safer system. But in reality, that's not always an option. - crilen007, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"Hey, kid, I'ma computa"
"Stop all the downloadin" - d17182, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I'm in yer computer, badda-binging yer badda-bang, capice?
- subgeniusd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1From the article (since many posters obviously have ADD):
11: Invisible Links – the latest trick – borrowing techniques from the latest web practices – is to run a piece of javascript code when the user simply hovers over a link
This one give me the creeps. No matter how vanilla your surfing and regular your security maintenance this could happen anywhere anytime and that_really_sucks. - jull1234, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Damnit, I was hoping that Illusion Softworks was releasing a sequel.
