Internet is being hacked

[sockmonkeydave]

Just a heads up, as we all use the internet to run our business.

News just flashed that there is a global attack going on.

so far it is in asia, most of europe, and it crashed the english medical system.

It seems to be a rolling ransom ware bug.

It is crashing servers, all over there.

And it locks up your computer

These things seem to hit US last,

Make sure your protection is up to date.

and click no links.

Now to the mods, this is not ebay selling related

but when the internet goes down, it is selling related.

Microsoft already put out a patch a month ago for it.

The hacking tool is courtesy of our very own NSA for not securing their server that had all these super-duper secret hacking tools on it!

Thanks, Obama errr... I won't even type its name.

Just on the news, Sun. 14th cyber security experts expect the attack to start back up.

Monday when work starts up computers that don't have the MS patch could be hit.

This is one of the biggest hacks ever.

Over the weekend, MS took the unprecedented step of creating/releasing a patch for operating systems they have retired -- e.g., WinXP, Win8, WinServer2003 given how may computers worldwide are still running on them.  If you download the patch and update your software, you should be okay, but I wouldn't be clicking on any links regardless.
