This Week in Ransomware

from Security This Week · host Carl Franklin

Phishing is when a bad actor sends you an email that looks like it came from Microsoft, Amazon, Google, or some other legit company that you probably use. They give you a link to click on for some reason, and with a single click, your entire hard drive is encrypted and your computer can't be used until you pay a ransom. This week we talk about how to spot phishing emails and how big companies are getting involved to fight ransomware. Don't miss it!
