The Ten Net Commandments
Reprinted from Spywareinfo.com, 12/10/2005

Just a little something to keep in mind, going into the new year.

Thou shalt not buy merchandise found in pop-up ads or spam.

Thou shalt not post thy email address, phone number, address or social security number to the internet, nor shalt thou post anyone else's.

Thou shalt not forget to update thy Windows every second Tuesday of the month.

Thou shalt not connect to the internet without installing an antivirus, nor shalt thou begin a scan without checking for updates.

Thou shalt not connect to the internet without installing a firewall.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's credit card number, nor his bank routing number, nor his social security number.

Thou shalt not enter thy credit card number without seeing the tiny padlock icon on thy status bar.

Thou shalt not reply to the email from the Nigerian banker.

Thou shalt not forward chain letters to thy friends and family.

Thou shalt not use "password" as thy password, nor thy birthday, nor thy children's names.

I'd like to add an 11th Net Commandment...

Thou shalt not use the C.C. email function when sending the same message to a group of recipients. Instead, thou shalt use B.C.C. to keep the list of recipients private from other eyes and spies.

Thou shalt turn off thy caps lock.

Thankyou. Thankyou. Thankyou.
