Email Viruses Continue to Target the Gullible
An alarming new study released just a few seconds before this writing and for the exclusive purpose of this article has found that email viruses are continuing to target the nationâs gullible.
The study shows that virus makers from Kansas City to Kuala Lumpur have unabashedly made those willing to believe anything their primary mark when conceiving their destructive cyber ploys.
Thus far, email virus producers have had a 100 percent success rate with their desired audience, a statistic that is just slightly ahead of President Bushâs current approval rating.
"Despite all the notices I got from friends and co-workers, I believed that the person who wrote the ILOVEYOU virus really meant it at first. I was just about to write him back and say âLETSJUSTBEFRIENDSâ before I opened it," said Joan Billson, the founder of the Susceptible Americans Party, or S.A.P., an organization devoted to people who are not only gullible but have a considerable amount of time on their hands.
"You wouldn't believe how many offers our organization receives for bridges people want to sell us," she added.
In an interview with postdocme.net, Dr. Stephen Sponger, the director of the impromptu study, advised those who might fall victim to an email virus to continue behaving as they normally would since they would probably open it anyway -- in spite of the thousands of warnings they have already received by now.
Dr. Sponger went on to say that he has a used car he would really like to sell. Great mileageâ¦
