I just read about thin on the Microsoft Security Blog.

Over my head, but I noticed the ClickFix component.

I run an M1 Mac Mini, so I'm not overly concerned, but I have a couple of Windows boxes for my astrophotography hobby.

Is this something I/we need to worry about?

Thanks.

BTW, "S-T-E-A-L-E-R" keeps changing to "Dealer" if I don't use the dashes. One of the Toreador Pants words?

Yes. It's historically an abused word by cretins taking potshots at dealers.

Hopefully, reading all emails in plain text and discarding ANY that don't have a plain text multipart keeps these b'stards at bay.
