IF IT WALKS LIKE A DUCK AND TYPES LIKE A DUCK, BUT YOU CAN'T SEE IF IT'S A DUCK

YOU'D BETTER DUCK

Nothing like cryptic Blog post headline to make one curious eh? [ed. - spoiler alert, this has nothing to do with ducks]. As well all know, you can purchase just about anything via the Internet and many folks buy cars this way.

According to the FBI, you should be suspicious of those ads (many of which appear on Craigslist) which describe the car down to tire tread wear and end their advertisement with a one liner: "Will send photos on request".

This seems not too unusual, maybe the seller didn't have his car washed yet for picture taking, but the FBI says:

"Sometimes these images are sent as attachments, other times as a link to an online gallery—but in either case, the photos can and often contain malware that infects the victim’s computer."

Just because it's a photo that doesn't mean it's harmless. There are ways to integrate Malware, secret messages, and stolen data in a photo that you would never know about. For more information you can go to the FBI News website HERE, and read all about it.
