  greetings to all who surf shark-infested internet waters.. after i was hit by ransomware the other day, i did research on so-called safe sites.

  it seems more and more sites are being infected deliberately by hackers.

  i went to a legit-looking site on a famous artist and -- wham!

  Good morning, Teary, will-be-apostate and tornaport:

  What a wealth of information -- thank you very much. I've learned a great deal from everyone's posts and will act with greater caution as a result.

  Blessings, peace and safety as you surf!

  Thanks, glenster, tirebiter, caa, villagegirl and Apognophos!

  Your comments and direction help a lot.

  Villagegirl: I don't know how to answer all your questions. Yes, iMacs appear free from what plagues pcs. The old desktop I'm on now has safeguards that appear regularly to alert me. The 10-year-old iMac laptop given me (the object of this thread) had not been cleaned up of the former owner's stuff; as a result, it was difficult to operate in an optimum manner because, on delivery, I was given no passwords. All procedures were blocked as a result. No updates and regular check-ups made it vulnerable, I'm surmising.

  Thanks for all your input!

  .. the new wbt$ donation arrangement/ jw kingdom hall bank account theft... is a very hot topic right now... the wbt$ is literally going to clean out kingdom hall bank accounts,filled with donations from jws... that theft is going to happen world wide..the wbt$ is going to steal from 7 million plus jw`s... .. we have jw elders here on jwn,that know whats going on... they "serve" in kingdom halls,they are "supposed" to be looking after the welfare of the average jw... they know there is a 4 page letter,only one page will be read to the congregation..the rest will be kept secret... they know the wbt$ is about to steal jw donations..on a world wide scale!!!...

  .. i would like to know what you active jw elders are going to do about this??!!...

  are you going to let "your" congregation know about the other 3 secret pages?...

  …is it not a comfort for them to know that in the local congregation of Jehovah’s witnesses they will never be tithed to pay out a percentage of their income? Nor will unscriptural money-raising schemes be imposed on them. It is at the Kingdom Hall that an unobtrusive contribution box is located for use by those who wish voluntarily to give money to support the work of the congregation. Donations mailed to the headquarters of the Watch Tower Society are also unsolicited and entirely voluntary.

  Greetings to all who surf shark-infested internet waters.

  After I was hit by ransomware the other day, I did research on so-called safe sites. It seems more and more sites are being infected deliberately by hackers. I went to a legit-looking site on a famous artist and -- WHAM! -- my iMac was locked by an FBI drive-by scam. PAY UP OR ELSE!

  Would you please share what you know on safe surfing. Even numerous legitimate sites have become compromised.

  Thanks!

  I'm certain I heard the word "groovy" in an old movie -- much older than it seemed that word was. Well, anywho, I always enjoy a heaping, huge helping of ratatouille while watching any swell old time flick!

  Am attempting safe mode. Yes -- it's a moneypak deal. Good thing it was the spare computer. Went to a "normal" site and WHAM!!!

  Appreciate your help! It was scary at first. Just another driveby, as they call it.
