July General
Meeting
Ransomware
July 7,
2022 @ 7 p.m. ET
Our guest speaker Ryan Turnbull returns to inform us about UPSes.
Remote
attendance via Zoom video
conference (no meeting at Keller Williams).
Ransomware
is a type of malicious software, or malware, that encrypts data on a
computer making it unusable. A malicious cyber criminal holds the data
hostage until the ransom is paid. If the ransom is not paid, the
victim's data remains unavailable. Cyber criminals may also pressure
victims to pay the ransom by threatening to destroy the victim's data
or to release it to the public.oom
login instructions will be sent via email.

now to attend!

Operation Clean Slate
In the last several years, the use of
malicious software (malware) by online criminals has emerged as a
global cybersecurity threat. Of the available intrusion devices, the
“bot,” or Web robot, is particularly pervasive, allowing an attacker to
take control remotely of
a compromised computer or computers. Invisible to victims, these
networks, called “botnets,” can include hundreds of thousands of
machines around the world, controlled by a cyber criminal, or “bot
herder.” . Read
