I haven't posted anything lately. Let's see if we can change that. I've got a bunch of boring (for some) posts to make about what I've been up to the last couple of weeks, but before I get to that, I have something else to share.
I received an email with a virus attached (in a zip file). I wonder how many people aren't going to catch the logical fallacies in it:
Dear Sir/Madam,
we have logged your IP-address on more than 30 illegal Websites.
Important:
Please answer our questions!
The list of questions are attached.
Yours faithfully,
Steven Allison

Disregarding the fact that it's just not proper letter writing, the first thing that I noticed was that it was supposed to be from the CIA. That just doesn't make sense. The CIA doesn't have jurisdiction on this kind of thing. FBI, Homeland Security or Secret Service maybe, but not the CIA. It amused me so I thought I would share.
