This Week in Ransomware

Phishing is when a bad actor sends you an email that looks like it came from Microsoft, Amazon, Google, or some other legit company that you probably use. They give you a link to click on for some reason, and with a single click, your entire hard drive is encrypted and your computer can't be used until you pay a ransom. This week we talk about how to spot phishing emails and how big companies are getting involved to fight ransomware. Don't miss it!

Security This Week is a podcast for those curious about recent IT security breach events, what they mean, how they were achieved, and how to prevent similar attacks from happening to you.

Hosted by Carl Franklin and Pulsar Security CEO & CTO Patrick Hynds and Duane Laflotte.
