Amazon Marketplace offering dangerous goods 8:14pm on 08 Dec 2008 I liked this report, but don't people realise that you need to check who your emails are from?

People are really ignorant to online scams and should search out the information.

I think the MD from Amazon was 100% right - if you choose to go off and do your own thing then you're a little silly. Have used the Amazon marketplace as both a buyer and a seller and not had a problem. Think the problem is with people asking the seller a question - not sure why anyone would to be honest - but guess this is the nievity of people who don't use the internet much.

Ah, and Watchdog researchers, I think you will find that CS is CS spray and not CS gas - nearly always incorrectly reported by the BBC.
Davenport Lyons - threatening letters 8:08pm on 08 Dec 2008 Pretty surprised this hasn't come up before as there are many people leaving their wireless networks open to hackers, as well as using the old WEP security keys which is significantly insecure too.

The main thing that I think this report leaves out is the fact about dynamic and static IP addresses - if someone turns off their modem for 24 hours or so (dependent on ISP) then they will be given a new IP address when they reconnect. The old one is then put back into the 'pool' for the ISP to give to others.

This is something that the report ignored and I think should have contained this information.
