Online Recruitment Sites (and other things)

Got your details posted on Monster.com or one of the similar job sites on the Internet?  They’re at risk according to net security firm PrevX.  The more details that you have posted on something like that which tends to be fairly accessible (except for those annoying little hard-to-read things…that computers as yet can’t read)…the more likely they’ll be accessed.  Right now they’re auctioning off details.  Basically, of course, this will just be phishing (but well-targeted ones) attacks and ads for whatever.

By the way.  Don’t click on links.  Be sure you’re talking to the one you think.  And basically, don’t take IM links.
