An interesting indictment.

An interesting indictment. Venezuelan cardiologist, 55, charged with designing ransomware, sharing profits with cyber criminals, and bragging about his malware being used by Iranian state-sponsored groups.

Some interesting figures in the @HiscoxDE report on cybercrime in Germany, key insights: 1) Ransomware numbers are still rising: they received almost twice as many reports of companies hit in 2021 than 2020. 2) Almost half of the ransomed German companies paid up. @thegrugq 1/2
