[AccessD] It just goes to show ya

Another thing I've done is setup an opendns account for my home.  It's
free and does a nice job of content filtering.  No need to install
filtering software on the computers, but I do run the opendns ip address
update client on my desktop that's on all the time.

Subject: [AccessD] It just goes to show ya

I got an email this morning - XYZ wants to be your friend on facebook.
I don't know xyz, but I often go look to see if maybe I do know them out
in a circle somehow.

I clicked on the link...  It *looked* just like those things from
Facebook...

You guessed it, it was a social engineering attempt to get me to a page
to do something bad to my computer.

I run firefox in DropMyRights sandbox AND I have a widget to prevent
running scripts in firefox which just saved my bacon.

It just goes to show though.  I *know* about this stuff, I am very
careful and I still got suckered. 
  Only my safeguards saved me.
