Ugh Helping an elderly friend of mine

2023-08-22 21:05:05.256268+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Ugh. Helping an elderly friend of mine last night with a passport renewal, he'd saved off a link from an earlier search before stopping to ask me to assist, and... I don't know whether he got it from Edge/Bing/whatever, or Google, but it was definitely someone trying to insert themselves in between him and the State Department, likely for nefarious purposes.

We need to figure out how to stop search engines from letting crap like this happen.
