If this has been posted elsewhere on here my apologies and AFFS....... This has come to my attention today.  I am on the extremely cautious side of the fence.

This was not what I had planned for today. cussing:

Af Miss D but the catch is the bug was only known to the mass phishing world since Monday and allegedly some sites have still not done the fix

It's just mind boggling that some sites chose to use freeware to protect personal information incl passwords.  It's the equivalent of your bank getting its locks from a boot fair

Also seems to be a  :thumbsup: for Microsoft as their equivalent lock is OK
