My boss called me a bit back. He knows more about castrating bulls and
turning sheep vaginas right side out than he does about computer stuff, so
he comes to me frequently for help dealing with his teeniebopper AOL/ICQ
etc. daughter.

His daughter got a message from "AOL Account Management" or some such, with
some blather. It requested bank account numbers, credit card numbers, etc.
etc. etc. His daughter got this, let his wife read it. His wife got out
her purse and filled in all the blanks. IN PLAIN TEXT!

I had to tell him the bad news.

He smashed her computer with a sledge hammer after that.


What did he do to the person at fault, his wife?

Luckily, he got all his accounts changed before anyone could make use of the
information. I'm not sure if anything ever came of it as far as using
attempts to access the old account to track the perps.

You'll never know if he doesn't have his computer up.
