Naked Security readers tell us about a spam he’d received which really does warrant attention. The writers have an interesting approach to life after death. They accept that if you are dead, youll probably get the email, but wont be able to reply. Some recipients may be tempted to reply, but others may be frightened into replying just in case not giving any personal details, but simply so they have something on record to show that they responded. Any sort of reply gives them the will to continue.”]
