Prevention is the key... Firewalls and port scanners are all free now so there should be no excuse, I hope this moron blaming BOA gets counter sued.

Firewalls and port scanners do nothing to protect you against phishing,,,,,this is built on the concept of human error. Its just a simple e-mail that asks you to screw yourself by providing your info.
Just Never,never,never give out personal info by e-mail
Did I say never??

They are tricky bastages, i got an email a while back from a legitimate bank that said my personal info might of been compromised and to please confirm by filling out form [x] .
I knew I didn't have an account with the bank, so I pasted most of the email into google's search engine ... a few seconds later up comes links to the same email I got saying it was a phishing scheme.
The enemy is everywhere.

i see ebay and payapl spoofs ALL the time, and they look like the real thing. as said before-NEVER volunteer any personal or account info. it's also a good idea to change passwords from time to time, these bassturds are relentless.
