Straight after our previous report we received some more information from another source that shows the ETT blog is also a SHAKEDOWN set up to extort cash from unwary readers.
This email says it all:
"I received an email from ETT. I contacted the sys admin and he examined some of the code in the ETT blog and was rather surprised at the lengths they were going to track readers. Since the ETT blog also mentions this and several employers by name, he decided to block the site".
The ETT email:
We notice that you are a regular reader of our blog and we suspect you are a member of the following sites and visit them from your workplace [details were in here].We understand you are probably breaking an employee regulation or misusing your employers assets. You understand this could have serious consequences for your continued employment. We are in a position to supply you with various code and others methods of keeping this private and away from the notice of your employer. This would prevent any sanctions your employer might invoke if they were made aware of your unauthorised activities.
ETT then goes on to explain the usual date and text inserts to prove that it is ETT and then some payment methods and a donation amount for the ‘code and others methods’
Now since ETT has previously mentioned several employers (trying to put the ‘scares’ on people?) and since ETT admits tracking operations this really puts a BIG QUESTION MARK AGAINST THE REAL MOTIVES OF THE ETT BLOG.
IS THE SITE JUST FULL OF UNREASONING COMMENT OR A FRONT FOR SHAKEDOWNS?
