*I cut and pasted the URL...
Do people manually enter it? Its not just automatically done by computer?
Maybe it was SOMEone really interested in security? But WHO?
What I am concerned about is the original security message said someone might be trying to get personal info from me.
I am naturally a little paranoid after the hacking here.
So *why* I am concerned, is cuz there is a discrepancy in the url's and I dunno why this would be so, unless someone specifically went to do so, and if they did, WHY?
There's a saying; 'know your enemies'. I am just trying to keep it safe. There were some indicators of trouble, seemingly benign, b4 the hacking. And Maybe the hacking wasn't a big deal to some, but it was a big deal to me.
Thanks for your more than 1 line reply. I hope you can have some understanding as to where I am comming from.
I guess i'm not very good at explaining things.
