However, I got my husband to read this thread; he says we are behind a firewall and we are safe but he has taken the post seriously and is to get advice on it from some real savvy computer people, I'll let you know the outcome as this is quite worrying. We have a lot of financial matters on our computers; the thought of someone being able to ... well. I have no doubt the claims made earlier will be pursued by someone as this is quite dangerous if it is true. Let's be clear about this. * If you have a proper firewall and virus checker you are safe. * If you don't, you are vulnerable. You should always be careful, and there are many sources of good advice. Ignore fools like Mike Crowe who purport to advise you. As Sacha says, either his original story was a lie or his denial of it is a lie. In either case his opinion is worthless, and his gibbering excuses now are just plain embarrassing. His family would be ashamed if they could see it. I do not believe that Crowe posted that as a security warning to this group. Even he knows how many highly computer savvy people there are here and such a warning, coming, as it did, with absolutely no relevance, would be totally redundant. He couldn't resist bragging about something 'clever' he's involved himself with. It's glaringly obvious that he started backtracking the very next time he posted after he'd been told this was encouraging a criminal act and that the police could become involved. In the long and wearisome annals of Crowe stupidity, this particular attempt to counter lies with more lies and wriggling, takes some beating. He is saying that I described his claim as an urban myth. I did not. I said that *he* is trying to claim that now because he thinks it expedient. I've never heard of such an urban myth because we all know there are people who hack into computers for gain or 'fun'. IMO, the more he wriggles, twists and lies the more convincing it becomes that he had/has every intention of finding out how his techie hacked. More than once he declared that he had watched someone do it and that he was 'only' reporting what he'd seen. *Now* he's pretending it was all a 'security warning' and is twisting my posts, RG's and Judith's as if he were trying to get people to thank him for it. -- -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials.
