That's a very scary thought. Everyone needs to take extreme caution when even talking to, let alone sharing files with, anyone unknown to them, whether or not they say something familiar like "CD". These are harsh times we're living in that people would terrorize such a great community like ours.

Psst, Bill, it was a joke. I do that to Matt all the time.

Yes, I understand that, but on a PPC PowerBook I feel pretty safe, not inpenitrable, but still very safe. I accadentaly had my Bluetooth on in the airport (where I'm posting now), and I got an ping from a Nokia phone to connect to me and give me a file. I kinda chuckled, and declined. I now have bluetooth turned off, I had it on just incase i needed to use it.

Re: Beware of hacker bothering CD users

anybody with that sort of thing in their profile poses no threat. Anybody attempting the simple social engineering tricks mentioned earlier poses no threat. I don't think there is a single person on these forums who would fall for that.

I wonder how old this dweeb is what his motivations are.

He probably just wants to stir people up and cause a commotion. Some people have a lot of time on their hands and nothing to do with it.

one thing is for sure - we have totally made his day - he is drooling on his keyboard each time he reads this thread "YEAH! Someone is talking about ME!..."
