Reggie Thomson’s Diary

I posted a message to Microsoft about a phishing email I received today in my Inbox.

1. I can’t easily find a place for putting suggestions about improvements to Microsoft products on your website, hence I have use this form.
2. Specifically, an improvement to Outlook spam/phishing protection that would be easy to implement:
   I received two spoof emails today with the following in their source:
   <a href=”http://www.ndmusic4u.com/images/.paypal.com/” >https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run</a>
   I NEVER wish to see these illegal messages in my inbox.
3. Please could you mark as spam/phish any email which contains a visible href address (or perhaps just the domain) that is different from the actual one.

Thanks.

I had a brainwave this morning - to check Google cache for the contents of my photography blog. I couldn’t find it on Google, but it was all there in Yahoo’s cache. All I had to do was to copy and paste the individual entries, then change the timestamps and add all the categories.

Fortunately, I don’t get any comments on my blogs. The Chinese blog had two comments which I reinstated manually.

I’ve figured out how to backup using ftp to my Godaddy remote ftp space. Hopefully, next time I need the info, I can restore online, rather than from my backup at home.
