Balut The Slapsoil Wanderer

Hackers come like a theft in the night! This time it almost succeeded because it visited during one of my most toxic day/night.  I just came home from work and doing my usual “email check time” which is after dinner and before bed time.  It’s one of those long tiring day that I gifted myself with a good dinner and the thought of resting my tired back on the soft bed is oh so inviting! I came across this email.  I usually think twice before clicking this kind.  But maybe out of my tiredness and I think you would agree with me that this one looks legit right? So I clicked on it and obediently followed the instruction.  But in just a matter of seconds a strong sound of “Teng!” came into my mind and then a strong thud in my chest. My instinct told me something is not right.  I “mouse over” the "From" (sender) and found that the address doesn’t match the sender (see red-encircled email address in the image).  Boom!

I am cancelling my planned post for today to give way to this quick post.  I came across this announcement in one social media while drafting several blog posts today.  I prioritized posting this in the hope that I will be able to help in my own little way through the medium that I am most familiar with. LBC’s cooperation with the Philippine Red Cross in sending relief goods to the victims in Iligan City, Cagayan de Oro and other provinces during Typhoon Sendong was very effective.  I for one was able to utilize that service during that time.  Let's all help in making this more effective and successful this time by pitching in any manner that we can. All the details are in the poster.  Please help and spread the word. “I am only one, but I am one.  I cannot do everything, but I can do something.  And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.”   ~Edward Everett Hale~
