Global Ransomware Attack

[VladTepes]

An extensive cyber-attack is underway across the world, affecting critical and non-critical systems in Europe, America and Asia. It is expected Australia will be impacted.

The attack is similar to the recent WannaCry ransomware attack. The virus gets into computers and systems through email containing links or files. If those are opened it downloads the ransomware to the computer.

It is possible, and likely, that various emails and domains will be used to send the attack and these may be sent to you / anybody.

You must be vigilant about the emails you open and the links and files you click.

Important things to remember:

•   if you do not know the sender, do not open the email
•   if you have opened the email and it looks odd, do not click on links or files
•   hover over every link to check where it will take you before you click—even if you know the sender  (hovering will show the link destination)

We are not aware of this having affected GSX1400owners.org in any way.  Let's hope it stays that way !

It has started Vald - WE had the first one today - quite innocuous but picked up by our systems control in Japan.
DON'T open any LINKS that you are not sure about!
