Cybercrime More Lucrative Than Drugs

prostoalex writes "Yahoo is reporting that global cybercrime overtook global drug trafficking in terms of revenue this past year. In related news, only 4% of Internet users can flag 100% of phishing e-mails as fraudulent, and Americans filed 207,000 reports on cybercrime to FBI."

dude your a dick.

i remmeber bbs's before the internet too. you were limited to a few hundred, maybe a few thousand people. you go back to that you would be killing for a slashdot brining you news every 30 minutes.

that guy above me with the 3 digit user id already served you though, so i dont have much to add. The only thing i would say, is if we ever did move to an internet without clueless lusers you would most certainly not be on it.

in conclusion, your an elitest dick who sees the dark ages through rose coloured glasses. oh and no one cares which aeffect you use. most people are smart enough to parse what you MEAN out of a sentance. proper spelling of words is ALWAYS used to attack the person, and not the opinions that they represent. period.
