Lesson:
Files Encrypted!
You and I are under attack by the proverbial they. The boogeyman is out there encrypting our files and demanding ransom – paid in Bitcoin because it’s untraceable – to return what is rightfully ours. No one is safe from these faceless, modern-day thieves. If you leave your front door open when you are not at home, you can expect someone to walk in. If you leave your brain at home when you go to work, you can expect someone to catch you with your pants down. One click can cost millions. You lock your door because an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Hackers are innovative. It’s up to us to be proactive.
