     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!!
