Digital Doorman Down: A Roundup of This Week’s Cyber Security Highs and Lows
From the audacity of naming ransomware after the good guys, to Australia’s comedic backflip on ransom payments legality, this week’s Ransomware Attack Strategies have kept us on our toes. But hey, in the world of cyber security, it’s either laugh or cry. More often, it’s both.
Hot Take:
Well, what a week it's been in the world of cyber security! From the Canadian government's 'whoopsie daisy' of a data breach, to doctors in the U.S. having their patients' records swiped, to a U.S. senator's demand to make phone record searches as stringent as email searches. And let's not forget the audacity of some crooks to name their ransomware after the good guys who are trying to stop them! The cherry on top? Australia's back-pedaling on their promise to make ransom payments illegal. I guess it's easier to make bold promises than to enforce them.Already a member? Log in here
