Java is a programming language and underlying technology that powers a range of computer programs. It runs on billions of computers worldwide, including mobile devices, and there are lots of apps and websites that won’t work unless you have Java installed. In the past few months, there have been some big security vulnerabilities in previous versions of Java, and Oracle, the company who creates it, has released a few new versions. The latest is (Version 7 Update 21). To find out your version, go to www.java.com  and click on “Do I have Java?” Follow the prompts. If yours is an older version, you should update. It’s a free download.

Do NOT open unknown or unexpected email attachments. Even if you recognize the email address, be very cautious with the attachment if something does not look right about the email. Even if it is sent from an address you recognize, a hacker may have spoofed a valid address and used it to deliver malicious content or a virus. Look for cues that something is not right, such as random or odd email subject titles, no text in the email, typos, lack of identifying info, etc.  Source: SANS Institute
