Sorry friends, my video is leaked...

I'm sure some of you will have seen the spam email going around by now claiming they hacked your computer and recorded you doing the five knuckle shuffle to some porn. I had several such emails today, so when I happened across this El Reg article made me chuckle, and I thought I'd share.

Oh, I hate those Something for the Weekend podcast/video things. I can usually spot their particular brand of tabloid headline, but it can sometimes be hard to tell the difference between a funny story and an ages long podcast I don't particularly want to listen to on there.

I have a private paid service so I have non of this problems, or the problems I had in the past like this:

Yes, I also pay for my email separately from my internet connection. I've always thought it was more to do with how widely I spread my email address. Ignoring gmails nasty habit of sending anything vaguely mispelled to your inbox, I had to sacrifice my original demon mail address after a while, and that was mainly because I posted my address to newsgroups. Gmails filtering is generally very good, but I mainly rely on being careful where my address ends up these days, and creating separate addresses if I have to sign up to a new service.
