The long-awaited update for Mozilla's Thunderbird email client was finally released May 1st.

Version 2.0.0.14 fixes two vulnerabilities marked Critical in their Security Advisories. You should have been alerted to install the latest version when you opened Thunderbird on or after 5/1 if you have your settings set to "Automatically check for updates..." (which you should). If not just open Thunderbird, go into the "Help" menu and click on "Check for Updates".

...And don't get 'hooked' by phishing email asking for account information!

I want to get these links* out to you while I can. Lately I've been reading about online criminals using the same old 'line' in their phishing emails to hook suckers. Evidently there's no shortage of people dumb enough to fall for the old "There's a problem with your account and we need you to update your account information for us".
