Email Software That Steals Your Password

from the pretty-sneaky dept

Interesting story about a shareware email client that sends your password to someone's email account. Interesting trick.

I can't wait for the headlines of crazy internet people stealing your passwords that people will misread and misunderstand. When it comes down to it, you still need internet street smarts. Don't accept candy from strangers and don't use software you don't know anything about...
