Good info...I'll put a copy of this on our computer/tech forum..
The last bit is how to protect your devices. [That means you should keep all your other software updated, including your web browsers and Flash (if you're still using it). Also, run security software to make sure you don't have any malicious software on your computer right now. Finally, look out for phishing emails. Emails that trick you into clicking on a link and downloading malicious software are still the number one way for hackers to get a foothold on your computer. ] Some sites say updates will be released Jan 9th... so watch for those updates.. |
I showed my son your post.
He works in cyber security and I figured he'd know something. Here is his response (via email): "Yeah, it’s pretty bad. Affects pretty much everyone in the world. Nothing you can do. Have to wait until updates are pushed to your computer. We are all vulnerable right now." |
Thank you Jo*mar and Kitty. :):)
