Hackers have their uses!

I smell a topical storyline for Law and Order!

Vigilante hackers use Old West tactics for cyberspace justice

I got one of those paypal phishing attempts claiming a security violation and asking me to log in at their fraudulent site. It even got through the spam filter. I almost fell for it, but the site address was different enough to raise my suspicions, and besides I couldn't remember my paypal password. Amnesia is the greatest security system.

Scammers are also using fake escrow services to steal merchandise from Ebay sellers. Boy did somebody get them back!
