Yeah I agree, there really should be some guidelines concerning the messages government people leave behind on hacked computers. How are users supposed to know if the message is real or authtentic? Its not like they send you a PGP key to go with it..

Yeah, and like people will understand that. Given the current lack of uptake of encryption in email, and the abysmal undertanding of encryption in general, you'll never get the average computer user to understand what the hell you're on about.

And then the spammers will spoof it and get people to click on apparently legitimate messages.

What the eyes see and the ears hear, the mind believes...
