Ransom ware
I see we are having another cyber attack of ransom ware, this time mainly in Europe, but it is always worth keeping an eye out and don't open any strange looking files that have attachments. As before it will be older operating systems that mainly get affected, or PC's that are not kept up to date with recent security updates. Personally I would like to see each country hunt them down and execute a few of them, we may lose some really good PC savvy people, but we may get a bit less of this sort of thing happening. Unfortunately a lot of this stuff is actually state sponsored or a result of computer code intended to be used by state organisations to disrupt an enemy getting into the public domain through carelessness or hacking.

Re: Ransom ware
Been seeing on TV that some other businesses have been hit. I think it is FEDEX who have just announced disruptions to their service because of being hit.
Hopefully I'm never hit. Would be a super pain and not sure I'd pay.
On the other hand IF I had to start completely all over it could be a good thing.
