But then - again - the things may look fishy only when seen from the States - while you guys, in the UK, may have such "friendly" arrangements with your "amis" in France, allowing you to hack into each other's governmental sites ;> Stef On 25 Dec 2001 at 0:43, Nexus wrote: > [Mods: Not sure if this is in the list mandate, if not, pass it on as you > see fit.] > > It's a new kind of spam.... > OK folks, this is a first - a complete stranger has asked me to hack some > official looking french site - I don't speak french myself, but the > babelfish translation makes it appear a goverment portal type thing. > Ummmm.... yeah, OK.......
