I tell them just to not use credit cards online, that’s what a lot of hackers are targeting people for in the first place.
Heh. There is no harm in using credit cards online, not a lot anyway. I basically accept files, but not all. And someone mentioned accepting picture files, well I heard there is a vulnerability in ICQ so that it limits the characters in the filename, so if theres a 7 character limit plus the extension, then something like this could happen (letters in bold are what ICQ users see): picture.gif.exe
