I was recently infected by a bad dose of ransomwear.  I don't know it's 
source but it could easily have been something I incautiously opened - I 
don't think so, but..  I tell my friends to always use the BCC function and 
if they don't I won't open their male anymore.  I didn't open that link just 
in case.  Big message - do frequent back-ups *and disconnect your back-up 
drive*.
