PIR1: Several outstanding points. Good stuff! I’d also like to hear more about ransomware. I can see this developing into a weapon and used by more than just criminals. The criminals are making multiple times more money this year than last. If we good talk about solutions for the average computer owner or business that would be great. Perhaps good backup management practices, etc.
Hey Norman – Thank you for the support. Right now, I see ransom wear as more of a nuisance or harassment problem, not necessarily a strategic issue. So far, its victims have been localized… but you’re absolutely right that it could be weaponized to target larger systems and have a stronger regional or perhaps national impact. I’ll keep my eye out and put something definitive out soon.
I agree – your in depth information on PIR1 was fantastic. It parallels much of the analysis I get from Stratfor. Great work!
Hey Joseph – I’m glad to hear that it’s helpful. Thank you for the support, and please let me know if you have any other feedback.
