Kind of shrieky, aren't you OP. Grin

The tabloid press should never be your first resort.

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.

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.

No one ripped your head off OP.

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!
