The sad part is that the Internet has such potential as a resource of instant news and information, but because spam purveyors, malware developers, and phishing attackers prey on the news headlines most likely to draw attention people have to be much more cautious and filter the news and information through a lens of skepticism. There is real information out there as well. Just exercise some common sense.
