The good folks at Flex Your Rights have some words of wisdom regarding protecting your rights when using social media.

University of Wisconsin-La Crosse student Adam Bauer has nearly 400 friends on Facebook. He got an offer for a new one about a month ago. “She was a good-looking girl. I usually don’t accept friends I don’t know, but I randomly accepted this one for some reason,” the 19-year-old said.

Please be reminded that effective October 24, 2009, telephone users in the 760 area code will no longer be able to dial just 7 digits to complete a phone call. Customers will be required to dial 1 + area code + the 7-digit number for all calls.

Dear QNET Customer:

This past week has seen several e-mail attacks which attempt to coerce users of our service to disclose their usernames and passwords. The goal of the attackers has, so far, only been to use your authentication credentials to bypass security so they can send spam. Unfortunately, some of these have made it through our spam filters.

Please understand the following:

QNET WILL NEVER solicit your username and password via e-mail.

Please do not respond to such messages with your access credentials. Instead, simply delete the message.
