Or so a story circulating on Facebook states. You might wonder how is that related to the usual subjects covered in my articles. It turns out it’s a social engineering effort.

If you click on the link in the news item, it will take you to a page where you will be told there is  a Java update to be installed since your current one is out of date. Although the number of suspicious-raising elements in such statement are numerous, many people will go ahead and “update”. Needless to say the request is not legit and you should, of course, not do it. If you must update Java at all, go to the source (http://www.java.com) and update from there. Or ask me if you need help.

Oh, and for the Game of Thrones fans, it has not been cancelled. 🙂
