The Isaac Asaimov story where a computer fraudster was given a sentence consisting of pyschological treatment which meant he could never look at a computer screen again? Shame its not possible...

TBH, he couldn't have done it without your typical AOL-user being a complete and utter muppet.

No matter how many times ISPs, security sites, AV vendors etc say "Don't open random attachments", Mr & Mrs AOL Fuckwit will always click open that file "Greetings.jpg.scr" file that came in their AOL Mail, because they think they know what they're doing.

What with this and the article about unsecured WiFi, or WEP encrypted (hah!) networks, it's just staggering the amount of people that use the internet that really don't have the first idea about even the most basic security principles.
