#46: "Soprano's" Cyber-Mafia Will Ransom Your Corp for Millions. Invest in an IT Superhero with Brian Greenberg

What's up y'all, We’s havin a WILD time on episode #46! We had a Chief Technology Officer We had a VR gangsta We had NOSHOD’s clownin’ ass! (Noshod may not have won “Cincinnati’s funniest” last month but this dude had us ROLLIN!!) Yo, did you all know that the IT department is becoming a PROFIT center? Brian Greenberg, CTO to some serious companies, broke it down.  Most importantly, companies he works for are getting RANSOMED by the cyber-mafia! Instead of paying millions of $’s, hit up cyber-hero Brian to protect yo-self before you wreck yo-self.  Y’all see the stock market barely move last week? AND the oil market pretty quiet too? How’s this possible when TWO oil tankers in the Middle East were blown up!?  If this was a LEGIT attack, markets would’ve *freaked out.* Instead, I explain how both the markets AND me are suspicious.  Bottom line: I don’t think Iran really did this. I don’t think the markets do either. Keep investin, y’all good.  What else did we discuss? - Mark Zuck wakes up erryday and puts a chip in the side of his brain - Noshod got a cousin named Raytheon - It’s gettin Impossible to eat an Impossible burger Chillax and enjoy!
