Letter to the Editor

From the May 26th edition of the Philadelphia Daily News If you see me shooting someone and have to chase me two miles, feel free to beat me up. If I have a gun and don't cooperate, feel free to put as many rounds in me as you need. If you catch me buying drugs, don't listen me spew about my hard life and how it's my first time (at least getting caught), lock me up. While kicking in my teeth, make sure there's an officer from every race and religion to avoid a civil suit. Don't forget to mention I was once an altar boy many moons ago. If my mom is on TV talking about how good a Christian or Buddhist I am, she's full of it. I take full responsibility for my actions and demand that you take steps to ensure that I'm not around to do it again - or no longer capable of doing it. William Hunt Philadelphia

St. Valentines Day E-Card Virus

I received the following information regarding an e-card virus that may be circulating. If you unexpectedly receive a Valentine’s Day e-card, be careful. It may not be from a secret admirer, relative or friend, but instead may contain the Storm Worm virus. With the holiday approaching, be on the lookout for spam e-mails spreading the Storm Worm malicious software (malware). The e-mail directs the recipient to click on a link to retrieve an electronic greeting card (e-card). Once the user clicks on a link, malware is downloaded to the user’s Internet-connected device and causes it to become infected, and part of the Storm Worm “botnet.” A botnet is a network of compromised machines under the control of a single user.

The Storm Worm virus has capitalized on various holidays in the past year by sending million...
