This thread apparently was finally cleared and I was notified today in my
Hotmail account. It is on page 7 of this newsgroup but I wanted to repost it

hacked because I was foolish enough to install VPN without realizing it makes
my computer as weak as the weakest computer on the Albuquerque School Network
according to Chris Quirke, MVP.
