Just a Malware Reminder

A new ransomware attack - dubbed Bad Rabbit - is hitting Europe and Russia, but has also been detected in the US. The attack poses as an Adobe Flash update popup on infected news and media websites. Even though it's not affecting most of us, it serves as a reminder to NEVER download software from a popup. Only download directly from the software company itself, in this case Adobe. A quote from one of the articles I read this morning.

Thanks Draclvr. Something else to watch for. Oh yay.

Yes. It was mentioned on the UK news here, last night, Draclver

So Very Annoying !!!!

Pretty sure my Adobe Flash updated earlier this week. Hope it's okay.

At this point, this malware is targeting corporations and governments. But the way these things go, you never know. This is more just a reminder about safe use of the internet!
