people are told all the time not to open or click on links they do not
know. today jerks are writing scripts that read a persons address book
and send email from their account like they really came from that
person. this service sends links in the email and i don't see many
people wanting to click on a link that looks so cryptic.

how does everyone answer this issue or work around it so this service
can be used legitimately.

thank you,

rick f.

The problem with "privEnote.com" is actually outside of the scope of
Privnote, and it affects all web sites in general. You should use some
kind of extra protection like modern browsers which check for spoof
sites and phishing techniques.

In the end it's always a matter of trust. If you don't trust the
person (or source) that is sending you a link you shouldn't click that
link, it doesn't matter if it's from Privnote or any other site. I
think it's also reasonable to expect people to use Privnote to send
private notes to people that trust them (or at least that trust them
enough to click a link).

And of course no one who is serious about privacy & computer security
would use Windows.
