Newegg.com is taking extra precaution on phishing scam fight against hacking

As I have mentioned on many of my previous email, phishing cracking hacking scam fraud activities happening in many different ways, taking extra precaution is always a good thing. The bottom line is, don’t open any email attachment for email link, I mean even if it’s the one you know – If you know then simply go directly to the site by typing in the domain name such as ebay.com paypal.com instead of clicking on the email. However there will be time where email ask for validation by clicking on the link to verified then you would need to validate the link by mouse over the link ensure it is indeed the site you would want to visit and trust, when you mouse over the domain or exact link should appear on the bottom left or shows up on your screen.

What is a “phishing scam”?

You may have recently received fraudulent correspondence disguised as an official communication from Newegg. This kind of fake communication is part of a phishing scam, which is designed to “fish” for information by luring unsuspecting recipients into divulging or verifying personal details, like bank accounts, addresses, names and more. Phishing scam artists can send fraudulent communication to millions of people at a time. If you have received phishing communication from someone pretending to be Newegg, this does not mean that Newegg’s data security has been breached.

Go to church people if you haven’t done so especially for catholic you got to attend this mass

what is easter for non religious people? what is easter for catholic people?
what is easter for non religious people? what is easter for catholic people?

When I hear of Easter, I thought of a bunny rabbit, but at the same time religious catholic like me will think of long Sunday mass lasted more than 2 hours. I remember in Vietnam it seems to last more than half a day, it goes on and on and on, well I was a little boy back then. My wife was at church last night and on her mind was waiting for it to end, this is not good for catholic people to think like this 🙂 – However ask for forgiveness from god, you will be forgive. For most catholic true believer beyond going to church some even volunteer to be nailed like Jesus, this method was not approved by Catholic church but those people does it anyway, their palm actually got nailed into the cross, it look so painful indeed and I don’t know what happen afterward, will their palm hand will ever be healed back to normal again? probably not!

That’s right, another gorgeous night sky with the moon so bright I can read a book sitting out in the yard, but it’s a little bit chilly or should I say cold. Moon light aren’t the only mother nature that could make the night sky bright, I remember winder snow make night seems so bright also 🙂 maybe that’s why I don’t see much street light here in PA compare with CA when I used to live there 🙂

 

Happy Friday everyone and also Easter weekend!

Tomorrow Saturday, my wife’s family side, cousins, will he holding an Easter eggs hunts for the kids, look like for the kids, but guess what? yeah I have to attend too for my kids. Will see fun it will be. Also today was also vegetarian day, ate seafood, low on energy now 🙂 Wonder how I’m gonna survive in the wild hahahah. My mom and sister stopped by earlier today, look like they’re going fishing this week end. My sister computer been infected with malwares, I think because she’d been watching online asian chinese vietnamese series movies, and those sites that offers free streaming normally has terrible advertisement pops up everywhere with adwares malwares and so on, these malwares can slow down your computer, eat your computer resources and overheat your computer killing the cpu fast.

The moon is so bright I can read a book sitting outside my balcony

Yes that’s correct, this town is name Buford Wyoming and currently only have 1 person population. It has a school, gas station, post office, and even its own zip code, and guess what? it went on auction starting price at $100,000 and two Vietnamese bid $900,000 and won the whole town, now everything belong to these two Vietnamese they can do anything they want, well abide by law that is LOL. I think it’s awesome. If I have that amount of money I would buy it too, but then what? live there? rent it out for business? Well who knows. The smallest town in the US. It should be busy though because it’s near interstate 80 the highway from New York to San Francisco.

Don’t be fooled by magicjack no computer required just plug into power outlet


misleading magicjack plus advertisement it's not easy to setup and marketing strategy to make you buy it not easy to set up
misleading magicjack plus advertisement it's not easy to setup and marketing strategy to make you buy it not easy to set up

 

That’s right people, marketing strategy, their headline advertisement said

100% Risk Free
Try It Before You Buy It!

*No computer Required!
*Transfer Your Current Phone Number!

*Installs in 2 Easy Steps!

 

Well, it’s not that simple – And you don’t just plug it into the power outlet. First time set up you would need a computer and register and paid for the product subscription, then set it up to work without a computer, but still you would need to plug Ethernet cable RJ45 into an internet hub switch or router or internet network, so if you’re thinking of just plug into the power socket anywhere in the house or anywhere in someone’s else’s house or traveling anywhere with power socket, NO it doesn’t work that way! 🙂 You need fast internet and a network cable to plug into the router or internet port and hope that it work. Don’t be fooled by too good to be true advertisement, they will make a sucker out of you 🙂

1.8 hard drive? zif drive? what is it?

what is a zif drive hard drive laptop various size 1.8 2.5 3.5 ssd
what is a zif drive hard drive laptop various size 1.8 2.5 3.5 ssd

Well turns out there are other sizes of laptop hard drive other than the typical 2.5 Yes it call a ZIF drive 1.8 inch, normally use on ipod or other smaller portable music massive storage device. This ZIF drive is similar to a hard drive, it does spin, just that it’s smaller than a laptop hard drive. I came across this because I was fixing one of the small laptop and this laptop use it. I hate the cable connect to it, this cable ribbon is very sensitive and the clip on the ZIF hard drive can break easily, so don’t use too much force on it, take it easy and do it slowly, it’s very small and fragile. The cable ribbon for these ZIF drive looks durable but it’s not, too much wiggle around or bend too much, it will have a disconnect or break somewhere, basically circuit board.
