If you use Windows 10, you need to read an article by Laurent Giret that describes a recently-discovered security weakness in Windows that apparently has been there for at least 20 years. The fix is simple: turn off SMBv1 file sharing protocol from your PC. Most people don’t need it anyways.

    Thanks for this, Dick. Mine was on, now it’s off.
    I still hate Win 10.
