#2 - The Ransomware Show (2017)

This is one of those subjects that has struck everyone from the techno security guru to the average person who might simply be trying to do their job. Ransomware brands such as Goldeneye, Petya (and its counterpart NotPetya), Cryptolocker, CryptoWall, Locky, WannaCry and very recently, Bad Rabbit (to name only a few) have been making headlines across the globe. I’ll start by taking a quick step back and just define Ransomware before I discuss how it tricks us into letting it in the door.
