sick and twisted
An update on my earlier post about the Virginia Tech tragedy…as I mentioned, we had a spammer sign up here in the GeekySpeaky forum under the name of the shooter, and of course, I immediately deleted the post and the profile.
Spammers are now using emails to attempt to infect computers with a trojan horse program. The emails say they are linking to footage of the slayings. Why anyone would click on that to see people in fear for their lives in dying, I don’t know, but they probably deserve the virus that they get for doing so!
In addition, fake websites are attempting to collect money for charity by using the names of the victims in the shooting. Over 450 domain names related to the shooting have been registered. eBay cancelled auctions for such domains.
People are sick.
I’m not one to shy away from watching something violent, but there is no way I even click on e-mails that aren’t from something I know.
That is awful, for people to do such things regarding a horrible tragedy like this.
