This article states :
"The most recent and very prevalent form of cybercrime is committed by using pop-up windows to warn users of viruses, and to offer virus software that users can download, often for free, to increase safety on the internet."

WHY on earth does it start by saying "The most recent..." ? Recent my azz. This is type of attack has been on the internet for YEARS.

Talk about making "fake news". It's FAKE when you're claiming this issue is 'recent' in order to justify publishing the news about it. Tards.

Daily Horoscope for December 24

Taurus

Keep calm! Your emotions are becoming increasingly heightened and intense today. As a result, you're likely to take things much more seriously than usual. That's wonderful if you're involved in a hot and heavy encounter with Mr or Ms Right, but it won't be such good news if you go overboard about silly trifles. If you're doing some last-minute shopping you'll want to be as extravagant as your budget allows. Or is it a case of Budget...? What budget?
