Law Firms, Take Notice: The US is Cracking Down on Ransomware Gangs

Our government has been earnestly campaigning against ransomware and cybercriminals — seizing cryptocurrency, offering bounties, and issuing frequent alerts. Sharon Nelson and John Simek talk with Ariel Parnes about the tactics involved in this war on ransomware, implications for lawyers, the importance of constant vigilance during the holidays, and who to call if you’re the victim of an attack.  Ariel Parnes is co-founder and chief operating officer at Mitiga, a cloud incident readiness and response company.   Special thanks to our sponsors CaseFleet and PInow.
