[[ and fewer attempts to take over your account or trick you into downloading a malicious file from your email]]
Somehtin Weird happened yesterday. Was on Linux, clicked on a link to what I thought was a tech sitE, and lo and behold it automatically downloaded a zero byte file intO my download folder. I deleted it immediately, but am wondering if there was something nefarious even though I said the file was empty?
Deleting it was a good idea.
Where was the link? In an email?

Wow, I have never had anything autodownload since using Linux... But that would have been something that fooled your browser more so than fooling Linux? Sound right?
