There is a new 'RansomeWare' threat out there - WannaCry. It seems quickly and poorly written but has still taken Europe by storm. It uses a vulnerability in Windows exposed by the recent 'NSA hacks' release. Easy to prevent - update your computers. This is a big enough threat that Microsoft has taken the very unique step of releasing updates for Windows XP even!

Set up a Cybertron PC for a client recently for his 'iRacing' gaming system. Really cool game that simulates a race car. I got to "test" it at the Homestead Racetrack. Stopped after slamming into a virtual wall three times at 180 MPH.
The speed of his new Cybertron PC was awesome! He is a VERY happy customer!

So how powerful and costly can a virus be? Well ask the Hospital in California who got the "infamous" CryptoLocker Virus. Who paid a ransom of an Unconfirmed 9,000bitcoins more then 3million. https://www.technologyreview.com/s/600817/hospital-forced-back-to-pre-computer-era-shows-the-power-of-ransomware/

Have you ever had the feeling you were being watched? Well its very possible you might be if you have an iPhone. With the new iOS updated some things have changed and even added without you knowing. The new update has your iphone tracking everywhere you been, how long you been there, how often you go there, and what route you take to get you there. Thankfully you can turn this off very easy.
