Secure Send

Although I am sure it’s not really meant for me, they are trying to get people send money by sending scary death threats like this:

Hello,

This is a message from the Ishmael Ghost Islamic Group. We are confirmed Islamic Hired killers and ******* aids. We have been sent to assassinate you and members of your family. I am sorry if the following message will not be detailed because we would not want you to be able to track us as we have been following your every move for sometime now.

Sometime ago, you offended a member of our gang. As you quite know, I shall not be detailing my statement. This member had ordered for your assassination after he made sure he acquired every information about you and your family. It was when he produced your complete details that another member of our gang found out he knew someone in your extended family. As a result, he pleaded for you and said you should be pardoned under any condition. After reaching an agreement, we decided that you provide the total sum of 800 USD to transport some of our expatriates out of the USA. The money shall finalize the migration of these Islamic expatriates out of the USA. If you do not follow these requirements, I am sorry you shall not live to see the next three weeks, even if you see the next three weeks, a member of your family shall pay for it and another shall pay for every other week you stay alive until you are dead. To provide this money, kindly send the money via western union or money gram to a receiver in the UK. Once this receiver has confirmed the receipt of the money he shall securely send it back to us for the needed reason. Below is the information of the receiver.

Receiver: Steven Gibbs
Location: London, UK.

Send complete transfer information once transfer has been made to this email dflender9@live.com DO NOT PLAY PRANKS, THIS IS NOT A JOKE

You have been given 72hrs to send this money or else you shall pay with your life. Note: we have all your movement and the movement of members of your family monitored. Do not let them pay for your greed. Because before you are killed, you shall loose a member of your family alongside. I do not have to inform you that this message should be kept secret from everyone especially the police and other authorities, because if anything happens to any member of our gang, be it within or outside the USA, your family story shall be a disaster. You should know this Islamic Group is wide and members cannot be completely wiped out. Note: We are sending this message with a hacked European and African IP address so that you cannot trace location of this message. I will not explain further, a word should be enough for the wise.

Have a nice life
Group Treasury Officer.

I know it’s a spam, I still believe it’s a disgrace and would like to report them.

I checked the email address it has been sent from, they hacked into a Turkey professor email address and sent it from his. This person really exists and this email address is his from work. Shame on them. And that’s why they ask to be sent an email to the other email address, because they don’t want this person to find out by receiving answers.
Thank you everyone.

I AM AWARE IT’S A SCAM.

Do you know a handy email address to report this kind of violation?
…and by the way Murphy: it is not funny!

You should not answer like this just to get points, it’s not funny at all!!

Over the last year, I’ve been buying Ritz crackers (of all flavors) at my local Fred Meyer store. It seems that every time that I buy a box, there’s always several of the plastic packages that are partially opened from the top. The cardboard boxes seem like they’re sealed securely shut though. I’ve even sent a complaint to Nabisco about this problem telling them that they need to use a stronger adhesive to seal the plastic packages. They said that they would work on the problem and they also gave me coupons for free Nabisco crackers.

I know it might seem stupid that I keep buying their product after having this happen to me for almost a year, but I crave them so much. Has this happened to any of you with your Ritz? Nabisco can’t keep doing this to customers!

When surfing online anonymously, through the TOR network for instance, is it that *I* am anonymous and not the information being sent, or is the information anonymous and invisible as well? I’m just wondering if I get set up that way if I could send sensitive information online securely?

Thanks.

How can I send files between 2 remote computers that are connected to the internet securely ?

So, when i log into myspace i get sent to a page that says…
“SSL Alert
The browser and the web-site cannot communicate securely because there are no common encryption algorithms.

Please try the following:

- Check the SSL protocol settings on the browser for SSLv3/TLSv1 protocol support.

- The secure web-site may be using high-strength encryption algorithms(128 bit).
Check the SSL settings on your browser, if it supports high-strength encryption algorithms.

- Upgrade your browser to latest version.”

how do i do those things? im not very good with computers when it comes to stuff like that so if theres a REALLY easy way to fix this PLEASE help me!! =]

Dear AT&T Yahoo! Customer:

I have read up on submitting forms, ie. username and password, with ssl. One thing kind of confuses me, I’ve read that in order for the info to be securely sent, only the form action needs to be https, not the page where the form resides.

This doesn’t make sense to me, this is what I understand. An unencrypted form page submits to an encrypted login page. The data must be sent to the server for php to process the data, so wouldn’t that mean that the data is unencrypted?

I’m sure there is a proper explanation, I would just like to understand how it works. Thank you in advance.

Find the solution to the following puzzle: Shipping the diamond. A person must send a 200 carat polished diamond (or something quite valuable) to a customer, through an untrustworthy carrier, who supplies the person a container but does not know the contents that will go into the box. The sending person and the recipient customer both have a lock with a key that is not identical. The carrier’s transportation can be repeated. How will the sending person securely send the diamond to the customer without the carrier taking the contents and run away with it? What is the concept behind the solution?
