2 things actually;
1) In my IE browser I have Gooogle hyperlink as a favorite (sittin up in my links bar) and just now when I clicked it, it begins to download a file. I immediately rejected the prompt and checked properties and the URL hyperlink is still www.google.com, so its not redirecting to another site that upon opening, a D/L automatically runs. Is it poss a hack attempt is occuring?
2) in a site based e-mail acct I have, I occasionally recieve e-mails from people who I do not know but there is no mesages or attachments inside, can this also be an attempt of a breach? maybe a "confirmation recipt" is being bounced back to the originator with account information?
Any idea's on whats possibly goin on?
TIA
