TNW 187: The Everyday Impact of Ransomware

Beep boop - this is a robot. A new show has been posted to TWiT…

What are your thoughts about today’s show? We’d love to hear from you!

Ransomware is what keeps our security folks up at night. It’s a top priority to shore up security in general and create contingency plans in case of a ransomware attack.

My IT company supports a large government entity with roughly 18,000 “regular” users. The other day during a non-security related meeting, one of our security experts offhandedly remarked about how just yesterday 350 users fell for a phishing email and provided their LAN credentials to the attacker. Just another day, I guess. Ugh. I do not envy his job.
