Ransomware - Share what you learned from an attack

When an organization falls victim of a ransomware attack and calls on our company to assist with the restoration I have the privilege of being on the calls with the forensic team. I’ve learned quite a bit about how the hackers do what they do. One of the details that surprised me personally was when the forensics team told the client that once the “bad actors” gained access to their network they began looking through files searching specifically for not only financial information, but also for evidence of a Cyber Insurance policy. The client who had fallen victim had a policy in place, but did not keep a copy of it electronically. Instead they filed the paper copy in a filing cabinet. Because of this the ransom was set very low in this case. I would like to hear from others what interesting details they have learned by sitting in on a forensic investigation, or from falling victim of ransomware. Teri

Lets tone down the points abuse pleaseContest

I know we’re all excited by the contest and I encourage everyone to create and explore new discussions, but let’s tone down going into 2 year old posts and replying “nice, thanks for the info” to boost points to game the system to win top prize. I’m not specifically naming or banning anyone on this as the rules can be broad and sometimes confusing, but I think we can all agree what I’m talking about. If you don’t stop I will DM you as your only warning, beyond that….

Thought somebody may enjoy this!

Hello Everyone! I am new here, I am also a new Webroot SecureAnywhere user, what I am about to share will explain why I am both of those!. I was bored and decided to try and see if I can find a good antivirus that I have not used, at the time I was using both Kaspersky Security Cloud and Malwarebytes AntiMalware on my Alienware 17 R4 Laptop. So out of pure boredom and curiosity I came upon Webroot and decided to install it and see how it fares, well upon its first scan it detected a Trojan in a game trainer I downloaded, and it was sitting right on my desktop, neither Kaspersky nor Malwarebytes detected this Trojan which was a shock to me!. So with that in mind I immediately purchased Webroot, and I am using it solely, I may use the Malwarebytes as a backup to check at times. But that’s it! Hope someone enjoyed this, it was certainly a surprise to me.

White paper blogs

Does Webroot offer any kind of white labelled blogs that can be re-written and used for marketing by MSPs on our websites? We have a service like this from our CSP partner and I find that it works really well for driving traffic and of course increasing business opportunities. Apologies if something like this already exists, I am just unaware.

Celebrating International Women's DayBlog

March 8th is International Women’s Day! We here at Webroot want to take this opportunity celebrate the strength, intelligence, and diversity of the women in our lives and across the world. In the world of cybersecurity, there are so many influential women that have made their mark and evolved this industry over the years. While I’d love to call out each and every single one of them, today I’m going to focus on one in particular: Joanna Rutkowska. Born in 1981, Joanna is a Polish computer security researcher. She is most famous for her research in stealth malware and her development of Qubes OS - A security/privacy focused operating system. Joanna has also become well-known in white-hat hacking circles for exposing vulnerabilities in Windows Vista. The development of Qubes OS is a particularly amazing achievement in her repertoire. An open-source, linux-based operating system, Qubes uses an interesting method to achieve a high level of privacy and security called “security by compartmen

Betty White, television legend, dead at 99

The beloved White starred in series like 'Golden Girls' and films like 'The Proposal' By Nate Day | Fox News Betty White, a comedy icon known for roles in "Golden Girls" and "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," has died. She was 99. Her agent and close friend Jeff Witjas confirmed the news on Friday. "Even though Betty was about to be 100, I thought she would live forever," Witjas said in a statement to People magazine. "I will miss her terribly and so will the animal world that she loved so much. I don't think Betty ever feared passing because she always wanted to be with her most beloved husband Allen Ludden. She believed she would be with him again." ☹️☹️ Full Story ☹️☹️

One Of Many Highlights of My Naval Career

Today I was reminiscing the days of my Naval career. Searching YouTube I came across some videos that highlighted my career. Onboard the USS Nimitz (CVN 68) as Command Investigator after departing Naples Italy I had to return to Naples to conduct some Naval business with the Naples Police concerning one of our sailors onboard. I had to fly off the and then back on the Nimitz by COD as a passenger. COD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_C-2_Greyhound Here’s the COD at take off from an aircraft carrier: Here’s the COD Landing onboard an aircraft carrier: Now if you want a real birds eye view of landing on a carrier at sea: Taking off and landing as a passenger on the COD was a very shocking experience. Better than the rides at the amusement parks. ROFL.
