One of the things that I've never seen in my entire life of doing ransom war negotiations,

threat acting, hunting, and whatnot was a ransom actor, a threat actor actually gave up the encryption keys

and apologized for taking down a medical facility.

It was, I've never seen this in my life.

That's Rico Danielson. He's a cybersecurity expert, and he's going to share a one-of-a-kind

ransomware story that you're just not going to believe. Now, if you've never come in

direct contact with

ransomware, you ought to play the lottery because you are incredibly lucky. Ransomware certainly

targets individuals, but you're not the main target. They're after money and working and they

get the most bang for their buck. We're talking about big stacks of cash come from businesses,

governments, and other huge organizations. You might remember that last year, Ransomware hit the colonial pipeline, one of the country's

biggest fuel suppliers. While it had to go dark for a few days in May, it was complete chaos.

It's a huge deal. The colonial pipeline is basically the jugular vein of oil flow on the East Coast.

You cut it off, gas prices soar.

And ransomware even hit our food supply. You might remember this too. In January 2021,

a huge player in the meat industry had to shut down meat plants for a few days after an organized

cyber attack hit the servers of JBS USA.

Huh, didn't know about JBS USA?

They processed pork, chicken, and beef to sell in grocery stores around the globe.

So here's what I'm getting at and that you have to know.

Things are changing.

Hackers are more ruthless than ever.
