2014: The Year Extortion Went Mainstream

Hi folks,
I’ve been meaning to write about this. On the heals of my next podcast release, I want to talk about 2014: The Year Extortion Went Mainstream which will be segment 3 of our next upcoming podcast. I talk about this article because it effects all businesses whether you are disabled or not. I’m concerned about this because if you are disabled, you’ll have a hard time with reading the letters, and if you don’t have readers, you will want to find one. The reason is that this is real. The demands in the letters Brian found, give an August 1 due date, and what they will due may harm your business.

This may become a big problem, as the talk is very damaging such as reporting you to the BBB, bomb threats, and maybe other things not mentioned here. I can’t understand how people can get away with this. Now a days, you’ll find they will use a service called bit coin. We’ve talked about it, and GRC’s Security Now podcast also talked about it. We want to try and pass the word along, and thats what I’m going to do with this article. Thoughts are welcome.
