Received an email from a former girlfriend today (work address from a Fortune 25 Company) - stating that she had a baby girl last month (result of our vacation in Mexico early '02). I'm supposed to be the father, and that she didn't know how else to tell me but she thought we could raise a family together, etc.
Anyway, after I caught my breath, I found out it was my computer consultant buddy playing a joke on me. He was able to write a program that can send an email from any address to anyone. Since he knew her work email, I ended up being the guinea pig. MORAL OF THE STORY: IT'S PRETTY UNSECURE OUT IN CYBERSPACE. He said he was able to hack into a major company's computers and the systems had no clue. His client is the federal government, so he's not going to be doing anything damaging, but it sure OPENED UP MY EYES! For a moment I thought I was faced with the decision of a lifetime. Gene
