Today's Stupid SPAM™ Email

[chrishansenhome]

I wonder sometimes how gullible the SPAM™mers think we are. There is the email I just received, excepting the link, which I am assuming is malware:

Have you ever heard that here are modern utility that makes photographies of you, while you are browsing (looking 4 pornography in yhe internet)?

Great example:

Please, confirm, that lucky face in the photo is yours!

I suppose that the same people who thought the television set looked back at you when TV was new might fall for this one…

Hm. I know that Nielsen tried something like this a while back. The reason is this: their set-top survey boxes would record that the TV was on, and what channel it was on, but it couldn't easily record who was in the room watching it (if anyone). When people were asked about it, they were frightened at the prospect, with good reason. If you like to watch TV naked, I would guess that having a camera in the set-top box might be a bit off-putting.

Luckily there aren't any cameras recording what I'm looking at on the computer.
