SHOUT OUT TO ALL BUSINESSES-Windows 10 may be new but the hackers are already at work.

I recently downloaded Windows 10 and for the most part, I like it very much. Of course it is expensive if you can't download it for free but I find it to be a powerful, positive upgrade. Some users of Windows 8.1 will miss some features (I do not).
On the plus side, to name a few:
1. The start menu is functionally excellent
2. Action Center features are handy
3. Settings app is finally a Control Panel replacement
4. Universal apps are much higher in quality
Jury still out on: Voice search called Cortana. 
Nice feature but you have to be very specific in how you phrase your questions and it could take 2 or 3 voice tries to get at what you need, at which point I have already searched and found what was I looking for manually. Perhaps just a little more practice is needed on my part.

Now to the bad news. HACKERS.Of course this is probably no surprise to anyone, as even before new upgrades are released the hackers have already found a way in. Some serious and expensive damage can be done by their ability to breach security however. As is customary with hackers your email is the favored delivery system. They even use a microsoft.com address which looks totally legit. I recommend immediately visiting the following website to learn how this threat could impact your business.
