Hack Off. Over the weekend, LARadio got hacked. And by all accounts, by a very professional bad guy. K.M Richards wrote to say this a variation on the "phishing" scam. “A list of email addresses is acquired -- maybe they got their hands on those old pages you used to post with our addresses? -- then a fake email is constructed to be sent to those addresses. The link for the funds request is to a bogus site and the scammers hope people will go there and leave personal information, such as bank account information, passwords, etc.” K.M. said he has exposed a lot of these to law enforcement and/or companies whose identification was used (largely banks, PayPal, credit card companies) and have gotten to the point where he can smell one of these a mile away.
