[ARC5] lookee here!

[Bill Stewart]

Mike, I got bit by one of those a couple of yrs ago. I accidentally clicked on an 
email that I was gonna delete and presto, the computer was dead in the water. 
The price asked, in my case, for unlocking was 300 bux. My good friend, ham 
and my computer guru was able to unlock it in just a few minutes. By now I'm 
sure they are a lot harder to unlock without paying the price....and even that is 
probably no guarantee. We really have to pay attention to what we click on.

I just heard yesterday that there is a “Ransomware” out now that scrambles up everything in your computer until you pay them a fee for a key to unlock it. The ransomware could be hidden within pdf files according to the note I read. A hospital in Hollywood just paid $17K to get their computers back as most of them were not usable at all. They ask for payment in bit coins and of course are OCONUS. The article also said that paying does not guarantee it will work. 73 – Mike

I don't open anything without at least a brief description, even from you, Ronnie. The subject line is a classic hacked come-on.
