Protect your E-mail from Phishing
 |
Received this e-mail apparently from Gmail, indicating that I had reached my disk storage limit.
For a moment I was in a panic, but then I looked at the return address and realized it was a phishing attempt.
- Phishing is an attempt to collect your user name and password
The link provided in the e-mail looked quite authentic, but again the web address obviously was not authentic:

There are times when you wont even realize that your information has been stolen until severe damage has been inflicted, which may include financial transactions.
Hacked or not, it's important that you regularly change your passwords.
Important to note, it's a problem with all accounts, not just Gmail.Recommended reading:

500 Baht Tourist Fee proposed
The reasons both pro and con regarding this proposed fee, simply don't hold water.
Here are a few of the reasons reported
The fee is to go into effect January 1, but there are some wispers of postponing it by a few weeks, as not to cause 'Confusion.'
Rather than a tourism fee with no visible benefit, I would have prefered the proposed mandatory medical insurance fee. The difference here is the tourism fee can go straight into the general fund, while the medical insurance fee must provide a service.
Here are a few of the reasons reported
- Increase in quality of tourists
- Reduction in overstay
- Funds would go for "additional Care" of tourists
