Public Service Announcement

If you've received a message on ICQ or email that says:

It´s a proven fact.......

Don't believe it. When you click on the link, you'll be sent to a site with a frame containing the contents of your hard drive. Don't be alarmed, and don't be fooled. No one else can access your hard drive except you. So how did your hard drive contents land on that page?

Here's how: <iframe src="C:\>. If you're using IE 4+, that simple fragment will tell IE to display your hard drive in a frame. But IE is the one doing it, not the website. To demonstrate, below is the IFRAME at work, on your own hard drive. I have no idea what's on your hard drive, believe me.

IFRAME trick

So, be forewarned.
