political spam on the way

by tech locksmith . Updated 21 years, 7 months ago

Just a reminder to everyone that both parties appear to be gearing up for a two-day blitz of political spam starting today.

Some will be fake, some will be sincere if misleading, but some will also carry malware.

This could be to discredit a candidate (would you vote for someone who just gave you a worm?), or simply the usual malcontents spreading their malware but in either case users may be off their guard due to the large amount of chatter among friends and co-workers regarding the election.

Just a word to the wise, remind your users not to open political cartoons or other political spam any less cautiously than they would any spam.
