Here is the latest information from the Naked Security Blog from Sophos.
You can go to nakedsecurity.sophos.com to read these. You can also sign
up to have these delivered to your email during the week.

Be sure that you PRACTICE SAFE HEX -- and that you keep your anti-virus,
anti-malware, anti-spyware, and anti-ransomware software up to date. 

Do NOT open any email attachments, even if they appear to be from someone
you know!! Even if you were notified in advance that the file was coming
before it arrived, use EXTREME CAUTION when opening attachments, or even
clicking on links. 

If it appears your email has been spoofed, change your password immediately!! 
It's best to use 2 unrelated words (the longer, the better), separated by a
non-alphabetic character. The use of a Password Manager, such as Dashlane,
is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. That way, you can use a different password for each
site you visit, and you don't have to remember them...plus, you can make it
a complex password, that's difficult for someone to guess. If they do, they
can steal your identity, and make you liable for things like credit card
debt, etc.

Lastly, if your browser seemingly locks up, telling you to call Microsoft
at a certain number, do NOT call the number!! Instead, close your web
browser, clear the cache and cookies, do a full virus scan, then restart
the browser. You may also want to reboot the computer afterwards.
