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!
