Wow... and I thought not printing when just one colour ink was out was a problem!!!

You read that right: functions that don’t technically depend whatsoever on the presence of ink aren’t working without that exact thing.

AUSSIES BEING INUNDATED WITH SPAM CALLS AND MESSAGES

Android malware called ‘FluBot’ is infecting phones across Australia and clogging up text and voicemail banks.

FluBot is installed on Android devices by clicking a malicious link sent in a text message.

Once it is installed, it has access to everything on your device, including bank details and passwords.

FluBot then uses your contact list to bombard your friends with similar scam links.

These direct you to a web page posing as a trusted brand and encourages you to download an app.

The scam only affects Android users and only those who have enabled ‘side-loading’, where apps can be installed from outside of the Google Play Store.

If you do not click text message links then you will not be affected.

To learn if your phone is infected, search for a new app called ‘Voicemail’ with a blue cassette in a yellow envelope.

If you attempt to uninstall this app, an error message will pop up – ignore it and delete the app.

Telstra may also contact members it identifies as sending exceptionally high volumes of text messages.

Changing your passwords on a device you don’t believe has the malware will greatly enhance your security.

A factory reset can also be done if you do not believe your phone contained FluBot before your last backup.

Two and a half years ago, NBN Co chief Bill Morrow blamed online gaming for creating massive congestion on the National Broadband Network (NBN) network. Accordingly, NBN Co was “evaluating” throttling downloads for users during peak periods in order to relieve fixed wireless congestion.

I have both Intel and AMD...
