HostingCT Stops Phishing Plot
Recently, when someone ordered three websites online at once, the ever-vigilant staff of Hosting Connecticut, LLC noticed something "phishy" right away. The name on the first account was Steven Sontag, the domain names registered were variations of "accountoverview" and "boa" (the initials of Bank of America), and a second, similar account was attempted minutes earlier with the same domain name but a different credit card number. The fraudster's IP address traced to the Middle East, not the US as the billing address indicated. To top it all off, the perpetrator immediately started uploading files called "Bank of America Online Banking" and "Update Your Account" forms!
Hosting CT quickly froze all three accounts and contacted the Bank of America Fraud Department with the details. The same person tried a few more times to set up fraudulent accounts with stolen credit card numbers, always to be thwarted by Hosting CT. "All the info I could find on him has been given to the authorities. He's not going to get away with it. At least not on my servers," says owner, Paula M. Pierce.

Nancy's Nuggets: Old Age
I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my doctor's permission to join a fitness club and start exercising. I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors. I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got my leotards on, the class was over.
My memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.
At my age, I've still got it. The problem is nobody wants to see it.
Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman: "And what do you think is the best thing about being 104?" the reporter asked. She simply replied, "No peer pressure."
It's scary when you start making the same noises as your coffeemaker.
These days about half the stuff in my shopping cart says, "For fast relief."
Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked, "How old was your husband?" "98," she replied. "Two years older than me." "So you're 96," the undertaker commented. She responded, "Hardly worth going home is it?
Never allow aging to get you down. It's just too darn hard to get back up again.
Remember: You don't stop laughing because you grow old, You grow old because you stop laughing.

Do You Sudoku?
I started playing Sudoku when my local paper started including it with their other puzzles. Now, I found an online site where I can play it on my computer. Click here to access the site.
For those who've never played Sudoku, the goal of the puzzle is to enter numbers from 1 through 9 in each cell of a grid, most often a 9×9 grid made up of 3×3 subgrids (called regions), starting with various numbers given in some cells (the "givens"). Each row, column and region must contain only one instance of each number. Give it a try. It can be a good activity to keep your mind active!
