Kind of shrieky, aren't you OP.

The tabloid press should never be your first resort.

AnnieIncognito · 14/04/2014 18:35

Umm...have a look at the very top of the "Active Threads" list. Look for the bright red stickied post. This is not news to 99% of MN.

ImAThrillseekerHoney · 14/04/2014 18:35

It's not a virus, everyone has known for aaaages, and you're in the wrong topic. Apart from that, thanks for the heads up OP.

Ok!!!!!!!!!

AnnieIncognito · 14/04/2014 18:39

No one ripped your head off OP.

squizita · 14/04/2014 18:58

It's not a virus, don't worry. It's an error which affected many sites, a loophole in their encryption buried away, and could have made it easier for hackers to find personal details.

It is unclear whether any hackers ever actually used this loophole or if they, like the programmers, were clueless.

It's resolved now: if you're worried, simply change your password!
