Do you know Sonia?
I received this forward mail from a unknown person. I don’t know whether contents of this article are true are not. However, I find this article interesting and ammusing to read. It seems Dr Subramanian Swamy (Janata Party) has contributed to this. In his relentless fight against Sonia Gandhi, he had filed petetion in supreme court stating that Sonia provided false information regarding her educational qualification while contesting poll from Rae Barelli constituency. However, high court rejected his petition saying that further investigation is not possible for Supreme court to go into all the affidavits. (Source : http://www.hindu.com/2007/05/19/stories/2007051907201200.htm). Enjoy reading the artice!
The nation in the Sonia matter has thus got an unexpected but temporary reprieve, a reprieve received not only because her citizenship of India by registration is not equal to one by birth even by Indian law, but also a reprieve more because of what national security risk was averted. To comprehend that risk, we must first understand who Sonia Gandhi really is and what danger she, her family and her friends in Italy hold for India’s national security.
Even for an Indian born citizen, we find it difficult to know a person’s true background, but for an Italian born it is extremely hard because of the remote access for most people to Italy in language and familiarity. This note is about that danger that Sonia represents to the nation, which the people need to know.

Phishing – be careful
In the past one month or so I have received 3 to 4 phishing mails and messages and have fallen for couple of them… off course after entering my userid and password, I realized that they were phishing attempts and change my password immediately…I consider myself internet savvy and was shocked to realize that any one can be deceived with a neatly designed phishing website. After these attempts I decided to write about phishing…
What is phishing?
The act of sending an email/messages to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The e-mail directs the user to visit a website where they are asked to update personal information, such as passwords and credit card, social security, and bank account numbers, that the legitimate organization already has.
How it works?
