“Hi Hippy”

That was the salutation in the phishing email I got to reset my LinkedIn password (at least three of them today). Whole thing:

Hi hippy,

Can’t remember your LinkedIn password? No problem – it happens.

Please use this link to reset your password within the next 1 day:

Then sign in to LinkedIn with your new password and the email address where you received this message.

Thanks for using LinkedIn!

How stupid do they think we are? How stupid are they?

  1. They think “we” are stupid enough for them to get one hit out of a million. And they’re probably right.

  2. No probability is involved. They definitely make money on these things, proven by the fact that they repeat them.

  3. I like the one about the Nigerian Astronaut stuck on Mir since the fall of the Soviet Union at the end of 1991. I wonder what the Russians told him when they went down without him and an empty seat?

    I suggest they check with the fishes in the bottom of the Pacific.
