Many critical sites have been hacked in Europe.
Ransomware is the action..... Ransomware can kill everything on one's computer
Always be careful what you do..... and today..... be very careful in responding to emails.
There is no indication that eBay has been affected in Europe..... but.. Sellers be careful
We do not want this to crawl in through a back door.

Individuals can get Ransomware on their computers.. Many such instances are reported on the internet
My computer was hit several years ago.
This is why Individuals must update their protection programs.... My programs that need updates are Norton Internet Security... and Windows 10.
NEVER assume that individual computers will not be targeted...
Owners of Macs will be excused... but you never know what just might happen!

It is highly recommended that everyone read the following article
The link has already been included in a previous reply..
But... Here it is again
Of note. ......
Fed-Ex in the US was attacked ... and perhaps other companies who choose to remain "quiet"
Microsoft includes protection with its update to Windows
Always be vigilant.... No seller on eBay can afford such an attack

Update ... Update... Update.... Windows.
Monday morning is here..... Many are back at work... and computers are ... frozen with Ransomware.
Where did the problem occur.....
On computers not protected..... If Windows has not been updated.... Now is the time..
My computer updates automatically on a regular basis.
In countries where people are relative unsure of what to do... or quite new to the new world of using a computer.
This is a true wake up call for all of us .... Each of us must learn what to do..... Our selling data is sacred
