This week in security news, news ending June 11, 2021

There’s lots in the news this week, and lots dealing with the Ransomware issue that we all need to be aware of.

Just in the list by Trend Micro alone for their digest, there are a lot of news stories dealing with Ransomware and with great reason. It is now one of the biggest problems besides Phishing that we have to deal with. Makes administrators jobs quite difficult, especially when some may not have seen these types of things.

I’d love to see what an email looks like that would contain ransomware without the ransomware of course.

In no way am I asking people to send it to me, because our systems could block it which is good, but I do want to see what it looks like so I can be aware of what to look for as a user, and a teacher.

This Week in Security News June 11, 2021 has the list of articles they have collected, and we’ll be posting stuff we’ve found that will make it in to news notes for our next technology podcast, program 48 of the Security Box.

Welcome to our weekly roundup, where we share what you need to know about cybersecurity news and events that happened over the past few days. This week, read about Trend Micro’s forward look into the lasting impact of COVID-19 on security. Also, read expert opinions on how banning ransomware payments might create new crises.

We have a webinar from the folks at Sans that asks the question. I’ve not heard it yet, but I did tape it. This aught to get interesting on where I put this program once I hear it. I believe it should be heard.
