Sent an email to my boss at work today, cc'd to a number of others, and decided to include a smiley.
Not having one to hand I came here and logged on so I could cut/paste one into the email, thinking no doubt how funny I was.
A few hours later, trying to find something in the 'sent items' I noticed that when I clicked on the message I'd sent previously it had the comment "this email contains active content and may not display correctly"...and, oh dear, when I found the 'active content' it turned out to be the smiley, which when clicked on popped up a browser window logged on as me.
To say that for a few moments I was thinking "****, what have I done" sums it up.
Still, not quite as bad when the support guys came and I couldn't close the damn window showing instructions on how to disable their remote access...
Anyone else care to comment on close-shaves, nerve-racking moments where you were almost caught out doing something you shouldn't?
