The Security Mentor

A column of security advice from the Wall Street Journal's Walter Mossberg says something insightful about all those email ads for drugs and other questionable goodies. He writes "Treat such come-ons the way you'd treat a stranger in a bad neighborhood who made such promises".

Bingo. Because that is exactly what's happening. The world of spam is a bad neighborhood.

All the rest of his advice is sound, but that one sentence is excellent.
