Can a mouse crash a computer? Yes it can. Does it happen very often? Thankfully no. Did I have a very interesting, confusing week because sometimes I had the bad mouse plugged in and other times I didn't? Oh yes!

I've seen two people today where Microsoft Edge would start, flash white, and close. That's not enough to assume it's a trend, but it definitely got my attention. A quick repair install of Edge from the Apps section of Settings fixed it in both cases.

Here's an example of a scammer that gives away that they don't actually have the goods. If they had any of the stuff about me that they claimed, they'd have put some of it in the e-mail to back it up, which would be a lot more scary.

I don't have much time, so let's get straight to the point.
I want to make you an offer that you can refuse, but only once.

Here's what I have:
Your complete personal information: full name, date of birth, home address.
Your social security number and driver's license details.
All your email account login credentials, including this account.
Other login details and your private messages.
A multitude of files found on your devices.
Access to your bank accounts.
The details of your credit cards: number, expiry date, and cvv.

I have compiled this entire package into a single folder. I can and intend to do two things with it. It is up to you to decide which one:

I will send this entire package to darknet markets, where other criminals will buy it.
It is unknown how they will use this information. They may purchase something illegal in your name, or they may not, but you will definitely not like it.

Or you can buy it from me for a small fee of 600 usd.
Changing the entire package of documents and data is very expensive, very time-consuming, and unsafe.

I already know that you have just read this text. Do not try to ignore this.

Be wary of downloading a file from an e-mail that then asks if you're sure you want to install this program. Chances are it's remote control software and it was a scammer who sent it. I'm seeing so many computers now with software that allows them to run your computer and try to learn account information etc.

Even if it looks like it's from a friend, if it turns out to be a program, just say no!

The nicer weather is making me think about window washing (my therapy work). I've already got a kinda scary list of people for the spring, so if you want to be on it for the earlier part of the season, let me know!

For Friday I'll plan on leaving whenever the snow starts in earnest. Methinks discretion is the better part of valor.

I am definitely not coming in at 9 tomorrow and we'll see how it goes throughout the day.

In a rare win for me, I got nearly all of my work done on Friday so I'm not stressing!

Did you know that you're supposed to oil paper shredders? I didn't for many years but now have likely a several lifetime's supply. This is available to borrow if you need to oil yours.

Well we're back to normal hours after the holidays and I got enough rest to start getting bored, so I guess that's a plus.

Like last year I will be helping Rick Strobl with tax preparation. You can call him at 802-299-5121 to make an appointment.
