Cybersecurity is important.

Nothing brings that to bear more than the WannaCry malware which last week Friday, (12th May, 2017) "hit over 200,000 computers in 112 countries across 28 languages", including critical systems relied on by public services such as the NHS in the UK.

If you're using an older version of the Windows operating system, you may want to download a security patch and update your system's security. You may also want to invest in an up to date antivirus package.
