Silicon Valley Gives Birth to New Pornography Scheme

Posted by wcbelew on January 15th, 2011 in Weird | No Comments

Online pornography hunters can find, or not, malicious code in their computers. The code will/can/does steal personal data.

A new scheme threatens to disable a visitor’s computer with relentless pop-up ads if the user doesn’t pay for a subscription they are automatically signed up for after a free trial.

Extortion?

Windows open, stay that way. Demands for payment pop up and if payment is not received it never stops.

The solution – stay away from porn sites.
