Ransomware

Falling Prey or Praying Not to Fall Prey. Or, Praying for Man City’s Rodri or Chelsea?

I was over in London for the International Legal Technology Association Europe conference and could not help fixating on not only the cybercriminal tactics targeting law firms (and all firms for that matter) but also the Premier League “Football”.

Not the Armadillo Who Cried Wolf. The Anatomy (and Art of) a Ransomware Attack.

There are so many webinars related to cybersecurity, that seeing another with dire warnings is like “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” or perhaps like screaming FIRE in a movie theatre (when there is no fire).

One has to respect Creativity in Cybercriminal Cabals and in Sport.

Unimaginable Identity Thieves - They Steal Your ID to Trick YOUR Colleagues.

Armand here, your sporty armadillo product evangelist of all things RPost. Rather than show my sporty side this week, I thought I would get back to security tech, as there is a new trend that you and all your staff, clients, and colleagues should be aware of.

RPost Intelligence™ - AI Intelligence for the Good Guys.

Armand here, RPost’s armadillo product evangelist. By now, you’ve probably heard about the Microsoft and CrowdStrike update issue that caused mainly large companies using cloud PCs to crash and display the infamous blue screen of death.

We’ve had a few days of insightful discussions at the world’s largest legal IT security event, ILTA LegalSEC. Since many of you are not able to (or not in the right frame of mind to) travel to beautiful Baltimore to experience this event live, I thought I would dedicate this week’s Tech Essentials to sharing the top three FBI-special-agent speaker insights (from my perspective).

RMail’s AI enhancements are more in line with PRE-crime detection vs. e-security risk mitigation. As sophisticated cybercriminal lures become ever more ubiquitous, and the consequence of a hook-and-steal situation more costly and disruptive (think mis-wiring funds and ransomware), we at Tech Essentials are spotting a new trend very much rooted in science fiction.

Last week we highlighted two of the top five e-security human errors that can cause pain for professionals, so we’re here now to finish out the list. As you may recall, there are some mistakes that can be forgiven in the workplace (although microwaving leftover fish at 10 am is fairly borderline). However, there are those […]
