Welcome to the long overdue fourth episode of the Cyberwise Podcast.

This episode we take the time to discuss the evolution of Ransomware, from encryption to extortion and what it means to you and your clients from a data privacy perspective.

We also discuss some tools that can help you monitor your outgoing connections to limit data leaving your device, and to assist in locating potentially malicious software. The main tools we use are:

Linux - OpenSnitch: https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch
Apple - LittleSnitch: https://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/index.html
Windows - GlassWire: https://www.glasswire.com/

Using password managers (free options: Bitwarden - https://bitwarden.com/, and KeePassXC - https://keepassxc.org/) as a way to help achieve unique, complex and long passwords.

Anonymity
Don't die a death of a thousand emails, consider deploying email masking services such as AnonAddy (https://anonaddy.com/) or SimpleLogin (https://simplelogin.io/) to help keep your email address private and identify potential leaks / database sales.
