Ticket is ready – Virus Alert
Book a trip recently?
Well don’t assume that all communication in your email is legitimate. An email with the title “Ticket is ready” that appears to come from Delta Airlines, but I’m sure there are version for many carriers, tries to trick the user into opening the attached “ticket” which is really a virus.

Use Strong Passwords, Please
Email password breaking is on the rise as a way to send out spam. This is especially true with Hotmail and Yahoo email accounts, but can, and likely will, happen more broadly. It is true, and has been known, that spammers can fake the “From” address of a message and that this can cause spam to just look like it came from your address, but the more recent trend has been for hackers to break into your Webmail account and send the spam right from your email.
This trend is especially useful because they often don’t get caught in spam traps since the message authenticates normally from known good senders and servers. This method of sending spam is going to get more common over time because the attacker not only gets the opportunity to send spam but also can harvest fresh email addresses. Two things spammers find most valuable.
