Dark Side of the Web

It's easy to think that only the gullible can get caught out with internet scams and malicious software. Not long ago I accessed my daughter's bank details while she was overseas ( with her permission) so I wasn't surprised when I checked her emails (that was OK too) and found one asking her to confirm the details. I quickly realised it was on the nose but it was close.
Recently we have had a few people in our library using the PCs to answer emails announcing a huge lottery win overseas. I can be very difficult advising them that what looks too good to be true probably is especially if you have never heard of the lottery in question.
