Not anything deery but i'd hate anyone to get nailed by this
I've been sent a series of very convincing emails from amazom, dhl and barclays all asking to open a zipped file. If you have the file extensions showing you can see its actually an exe attachment.
Apparently if opened it encrypts all your data permanently unless you pay a huge ransom.
i was round my computer guys earlier on with literally a succession of people ringing who had fallen victim to this scam which has apparently so far netted its creator in excess £1billion.
Bin anything with a zipped attachment.
Change your passwords regularly.
