[Elecraft] OT: be careful what you open

Ummm ... maybe not.  The email address of everyone who has recently 
posted to this list resides in the trash folder on my computer where it 
went after I read it, and where it will stay until a few thousand 
accumulate and I empty the trash. This is probably also the case for 
most everyone else.  My computer is pretty well protected behind several 
firewalls, but if someone got in, they're all there for the taking.

A lot of so-called "hacking" is pretty low-tech.  Hillary Clinton's 
campaign emails were taken because someone sent her campaign manager 
[John Podesta] an email requesting him to "update his password" and 
conveniently providing a link to do that, which he did, dutifully 
logging in to their server with his password.
