Ransomware

Unimaginable Identity Thieves - They Steal Your ID to Trick YOUR Colleagues.

Armand here, your sporty armadillo product evangelist of all things RPost. Rather than show my sporty side this week, I thought I would get back to security tech, as there is a new trend that you and all your staff, clients, and colleagues should be aware of.

We’ve had a few days of insightful discussions at the world’s largest legal IT security event, ILTA LegalSEC.

RMail’s AI enhancements are more in line with PRE-crime detection vs. e-security risk mitigation. As sophisticated cybercriminal lures become ever more ubiquitous, and the consequence of a hook-and-steal situation more costly and disruptive (think mis-wiring funds and ransomware), we at Tech Essentials are spotting a new trend very much rooted in science fiction.

RMail — DDT for Ransomware Attackers Ransomware is again in the news—this time in terms of what state and local governments are actively doing to prevent it.
