My First Official Ransomware Attack and What I Learnt

from YourTechReport · host Aflalo Communications Inc.

Last week I got a suspicious email, from myself, claiming to have been hit by Ransomware. While I do not believe any information was compromised I do know that the password they told me they had is, or was, one that I, unfortunately, used on multiple sites. Thankfully I have multi-factor authentication on important but that didn't stop the need to change over 400 passwords with much more secure options in my password manager. Hear the complete story and warnings during my conversation with Matt Gurney! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
