To All:
Just when everyone thought RansomeWare was bad along comes this!

The ONLY info they require is your email, then they scan the net to see
if your email is on any of the
compromised lists! My email came back clean but the wife had 1
compromise. She will probably need to
change some of her passwords!! P.S. It has NOTHING to do with MS or
Apple or Linux!! Copied from the
article; "security research center MacKeeper reported today that a
massive database of stolen passwords has surfaced online
<https://mackeepersecurity.com/post/mother-of-all-leaks>. And while this
database is composed largely of passwords from a variety of sources,
many of them years old, its newfound accessibility -- and conglomeration
into a single collection -- is cause for concern."
While some may be old, the wife's appeared on a recent list!! It doesn't
hurt to check!!
