'evening Besoeker
I know what you're saying and we do stuff 'on line' if we can't buy it locally. But I have to say
I am not impressed with all the techno speak so called 'experts' that pop up on TV whenever there is yet another hacker headline.
The 'talking heads' that apperaed after the 'Talk Talk' fiasco
didn't impress me one bit and the 'Action Fraud' rep who was recently giving evidence to some parlimentary committee was a
joke and alongside her some Police Cyber Crime rep saying "
Oh dear it's all teribly complicated" etc. and the banking rep talking about
accounts being 'taken over' etc.
The plain fact is that the
so called experts are loosing the battle, the hackers and fraudsters are making gains all the time.
I try to
avoid ordering on line if at all possible. When I do it I try to check the supplier out but
it's not easy, many of them have no physical address (Amazon is an example) nor is there a phone number, and often the e-mail is an automated one so
you never know if anyone is going to read it.
I am thinking that soon we might have to revert to 'snail mail'
