A virus that can infect your computer, laptop, smartphone or home applicance without any user interaction? Yikes, sounds like a nightmare. Makes me yearn for the 'old-days'!

No matter what, I don't feel safe with this hack around because I don't want a random person being able to have access to my phone.............
