    We were hacked by a company representing itself as Microsoft What can we do


    Our computer was frozen up and the people claimed that they were from Microsoft and were the only ones who could fix it. They got money from us, and I have closed my bank cards. I want to know if they have access to everything. I am scared.

    Company merging on the horizon

    The Inq. talks about some major company merging that could take place this summer. What is likely to happen is summarized in the following list:

    • eBay is in talks with Microsoft and Yahoo regarding cooperation and perhaps even a combination
    • Oracle, SAP and perhaps Novell might be "up to something"
    • Telecoms will surely continue to be a big source of deal-making and not just through attempts to build scale and geographic coverage. Deals such as Sky-Easynet and eBay-Skype suggest that combinations of services could be the way forward.
    • Sun might be bought by Fujitsu Siemens, HP or Dell
