…And Other Comments on Spammers and Hackers
When I started this website over two years ago, I envisioned a comfortable family-type website that could help our far-flung family keep in touch. I wasn’t a newbie at running websites as I had operated a “commercial” website for the five years prior to my divorce (commercial in the sense that I had hopes of making money off it, not that I actually did make money).
I was well aware of the threats from hackers, and the annoyance of getting hundreds of daily spam e-mails offering everything from increased site traffic to earning thousands, even millions, of dollars overnight using whatever money-making system the particular spammer was pushing. It was about three years between the times I shut down my flagship “RCM TravelSite” to the time I started “The Charest Family on the Web.” I have been shocked at how the Internet community has changed over those years.
