So it still take a lots of careful inspection of what sites are being visited, one cannot simply trust a site because it=E2=80=99s running SSL. S= ad but true. I run a number of major blocker and hosts file projects which track and deal with all the baddies out there and I have seen a good 90% of bad sites having moved to SSL in recent months. Have a great weekend but do send that info to OUTA for comment and advise. --=20 Copyright Hawks From: ox <[email protected]> <[email protected]> Reply: IOZ <[email protected]> <[email protected]> Date: 22 September 2017 at 6:44:01 AM To: IOZ <[email protected]> <[email protected]> Subject: [IOZ] AARTO & SA Internet & Criminal Actions by the SA Government Hi, http://www.aarto.gov.za/index.php/query-my-fine - refers. So, this morning I received a "first notice" of an alleged traffic offense, involving a company vehicle (registered in my name), from 8 years ago... Now, around the same time, 8 Years ago, the vehicles were also sold and the company closed. As about 12 people drove that specific vehicle, 8 years ago, I cannot recall who drove the vehicle at exactly 10:15 on a Tuesday, 8 years ago and the log books, as log books are only kept for 5 years, no longer exist. Although receiving: Total number of Infringement notices 1 Total number of Courtesy Letters 0 Total number of Enforcement Orders* 0 Total number of outstanding Infringements1 today, via email, to a very old and not often used email address I alos logged onto the AARTO website... Not only is that website UNSECURE (http) but it has so many other security issues that it boggles the mind. So, the South African Government transmits my ID number, personal information, and a whole bunch of sensitive information, over the open Internet and runs a website that Mickey and Minnie Mouse would not even use. The person/people who run this AARTO place should be tried, convicted and imprisoned as I personally consider their actions criminally negligent. Even my 6 year old knows that an http website is not cool. - Maybe there are little children running a Government department? (Younger than 6?) But, as we have so many other problems, I guess this is just another brick in the wall. What bothers me also, is that if they take 8 years to send a 'first notice" - can they send notices from 20 years ago? maybe from 30 years ago? We truly live in a banana republic. Oh, and this is maybe funny, because now it is me... Next week it could be you.
