Microsoft Hacked.

[Togo]

Just a warning if you are using Microsoft. There has been a major World wide security breach, supposedly emanating in China(where else) and causing big problems. It is affecting local authority systems and even the European Banking Authority systems.

Just to qualify that ... The attack is mainly on the business email service and Microsoft Office.

Strange that link wouldn't open for you Barry. I have just tried it on a different machine and it opened for me there. You would think that this sort of stuff would be at least mentioned by the "news" sources. They are too damned busy making up stories or swooning over the narcissists.

I know many people who dont keep their Windows and Office up to date which is freeand doesnt take all that long. It goes without saying that you should have the best antivirus you can reasonably afford - I`ve never been convinced that the free ones can give you a 100% protection.
