Porn Sites that Force Your Modem to Call Africa
from the a-bit-more-expensive-than-you-expected dept
Wired is running a story about some porn sites that basically hijack your computer and call some distant country and leave you stuck with the phone bill. I remember companies getting in trouble a few years back for the same thing. I think the difference this time is that the new companies apparently warn you in very small print before it happens. Since no one reads that small print, they just click through and discover the mess they’re in once they get their phone bill.
