Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 31-3-2020: Ruby Tuesday

31st March, 2020.

Yep: it’s day whatever of the UK wide lockdown.

And frankly?

I’m losing track of days!

Well … lost count of how many days we’ve been locked down.

It’s still frustrating … 

But also odd: I live by the rail line, and — with the trains on a permanent Sunday service? — it’s unnervingly quiet.

I’ve got to admit, I’m in a local WhatsApp group: for those needing or offering help during the lock down.

And got a message, this morning.

Warning that the video calling app, Houseparty, had been hacked.

It’s causing a media panic.

It’s also got the manufacturers, Epic Games, offering a $1, 000, 000 bounty, to anyone can can prove it does.

Something I know I managed to flag up.

It’s … 

Well, I think the Corona Virus is going get a lot of that sort of thing.

It’s ALREADY generating email scams.
