In sharp contrast to the harmless pranks that will be played on April Fools' Day, deceptive phishing schemes are no laughing matter. To strike a blow against criminals who prey on Internet users, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), National Consumers League and Microsoft Corp. today urged consumers to beware of phishing schemes aimed at stealing their identities.

Phishing is a high-tech twist on the all-too-common crime of identity theft, where spam or pop-up messages are used to deceive recipients into releasing personal or financial information into the hands of criminals. The FTC reports that identity theft was the No. 1 consumer complaint in 2004. And, for the first time, phishing appeared on the top Internet and telemarketing scams lists gathered by the National Consumers League in 2004.

Appearing at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., Lydia Parnes, acting director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection, Susan Grant, director of the National Consumers League's National Fraud Information Center and Internet Fraud Watch program, and Jacqueline Beauchere and Aaron Kornblum of Microsoft urged Internet users to exercise the same caution when doing business online as they would in the physical world and called for increased consumer awareness of phishing.

Surgery April 12


Surgery April 12 04/10/2004 12:50 PM

On April 12 I'm scheduled for anterior cervical decompression and fusion. As nervous as I am about the surgery, I'm actually looking forward to it. I've been in pain for close to two months now, and recently it has become almost unbearable, so I'm glad relief is coming soon. Although I've felt worse pain before (for example, I once had stitches in my head without anesthesia, which kinda' stung), this is the first (and hopefully last) time I've experienced chronic pain, and it really consumes your life.

It will be a few weeks before I'll fully return to work, but I should be able to handle light typing within a few days. In the meantime, I plan to recover by eating several buckets of ice cream and finally watching every DVD I've ordered from Amazon.com but never had time to watch :)

April cool


April cool 04/02/2005 10:44 PM

April 1. A day of pranks. The first full month of Spring (at least in the northern hemisphere). Most importantly for gamers, it's the beginning of the second quarter, where the pace and quality of releases begins to pick after the post-holiday fall off. Unfortunately, fans of one game aren't happy as the new quarter begins.

Because the game hasn’t received any patch love for several months, players were already in a twist. This announcement lead to some rants, raves and other displeased recourse. Can’t really blame the players, but I had the feeling that this was an inevitable outcome due to poor sales numbers for the title.

Check out this week's Game.Ars to find out the name of the game, as well as a summary of the week's gaming news and recent releases.
