    This is the funniest piece of news if heard this week

    http://www.allspammedup.com/2008/10/french-president-falls-for-phishing-scam/

    French president Nicolas Sarkozy is a victim of a phishing scam. French officials confirmed yesterday that he had money stolen from his bank account after inadvertently giving scammers his username and password through what was later found to be a phishing email.

    F.A.I.L :D

    OMG! I've always wondered who would actually buy from spam emails or fall for phishing scams... but never in a thousand years would I have imagined that a president would fall for one.. very nice to see France is in good and secure hands! LOL

    When I read the title of the thread, my first though was that he's going to marry (yet) again! :)

    Most people are still "naive" when it comes to the internet
    especially people that did not grow up with it (age > 40)

    they think all sites are innocent
    and if a site appears to be familiar they will trust it !!!

    When a president goes to visit foreign countries , he carries some instrument using which he can instruct to nuke , now that instrument will have some access control mechanism and hence can be hacked .

    I doubt if any Prez/PM would nuke/declare war when he's not in the country.

    Probably he would be detained by the foreign country if he nukes.

    Yes he is a president but being a president doesn't mean you know everything. He became a president because of politics not by internet so don't judge some people according to their status. Yes you can say maybe you can be a president to because you are intelligent than him but can you handle the problems and issues about politics?
