    Your Phone Destroyed by Virus

    My phone's capabilities to call and text were destroyed by some text message I opened. This happened a few years ago. Has anyone had something similar happen? Were you able to get your phone back? I could not.

    This is actually a plot to one of Tyler Perry's movies, but seriously, I'm sure it's a real problem. It's when some dream guy cons a girl (or maybe some dream girl cons a guy) just to get the cash and then runs or devilishly says something like "I got you in my corner pocket, lol".

    Forum and Blog Hacking

    What do you do to prevent it from happening? Myself, I use very strong passwords for the admin. I think it's something all forums should do to prevent hacking, even on paid software which is stereotyped as hack-proof.
