Wondering how elected officials in Virginia voted to help you decide how to vote in November? Use case.
I just did a google search on Virginia delegate voting records and the second site on the list was:
Virginia Delegates Voting Record
brendenstickel.jsrqidyxw.cc/virginia_delegates_voting_record.html – 3 hours ago – Similar
***Note the part I put in italics: “Cat Hair Loss Hock….” This was my first indication that something was not quite right! Read before you click. If it looks like things are not quite right, then don’t click on it. I mean what has cat hair, fetal dead, and body hair got to do with Delegate voting records.
Also note the link listed at the bottom….who ever heard of brendenstickel as an entrance page to a Virginia site? I beefed up my security and clicked:If you click on that link you are taken to a site that is related to something called searchand protect.net. You will immediately get noticed that your computer has a serious virus problem and is immediate danger.
The authors of the webpage have designed webpages that look almost identical to the Windows security page warning you would see if you have an actual problem. You will be prompted to continue by clicking buttons in order to save your computer.
DON”T DO IT!!!! I stayed only long enough to verify that this was a simulation of the security prompts before I hightailed it out of there.
I can’t believe that ANYONE would use something as important as voting records in this manner. Whoever is doing this needs to go to jail for a very, very long time!
Watch yourself when surfing the web. Take the time to look and if anything comes up looking funny. Get out of the site as quickly as possible WITHOUT clicking on anything within that site!
