Wrap-up On The Ottawa Linux Symposium

Posted by Hemos on from the great-conference dept.

Joe Barr writes "David Graham wraps up his coverage of the Ottawa Linux Symposium with this report on Day 4, including the closing keynote address by Andrew Morton. If you've been turned off by the commercialism of LWCE the past couple of years, you might find the OLS to be breath of fresh air. Our fearless reporter has provided detailed, behind-the-headlines coverage each day of the event."

    I don't know whether the three of you are crooked or just gullible, but this appears to be a Phishing scam, reasons being:
    • "419" scams do not involve stealing databases; they exist on a much lower level of technical sophistication.
    • How do you learn that 419ers are behind the theft, without learning enough to bust them?
    • the "news story" links to a site that requests you enter your credit card number

    One more clincher:

    How can the supposed police website have a copy of the "stolen database?"
