UH-OH! HOUSTON WE HAD A PROBLEM...
If you remember, I've mentioned before that Linux is typically more secure than other operating systems. Just a couple of days ago, we found there was a bug that was 12 years old that could cause a problem. Luckily, it's been patched/fixed in very short order. Even though Linux has less vulnerabilities (that we know of at the moment) than Windows or MacOS, it can still happen. Why? Because 'people' create the OS's, write the code, and as such it's difficult if not impossible to anticipate the varied ways other people will try to attack your code. Here are some interesting links for you:

Remember our words of wisdom: Don’t drive drunk, don’t drink and drive, don’t buy crap off of Amazon, eBay or MS Edge because you’re all buzzed up and think you’re getting cool stuff. You’re probably not. Bottoms up, and later dudes!
