Apple text message scam

Got one of these bogus messages today.

What is an Ethical Hacker?   A google search states:  "an ethical hacker is a person who hacks into a computer network in order to test or evaluate its security, rather than with malicious or criminal intent". This particular career field is becoming more popular due to attacks on large scale networks.

Necessity facilitates this.

AI Detector

I enjoy writing very much. It is like an escape for me. I write song lyrics and poems etc. frequently. Never once have I relied on AI to write for me.

At this site you can input text to identify whether or not it was created with AI and if it may be suspect to plagiarism.  Check it out. https://www.zerogpt.com/
 My oh my... Time flies.  I first began this site over 10 years ago. I've been retired for about that long now. The site has been dormant for a long time. I plan to revive it.  It is just a personal blog anyway. No one may ever know. 😃 Maybe something profitable will come from it. Cheers
