Episode 31 - A Ransomware Interview with Denzel


Listen Later

In this episode we quickly talk about the Google Drive outage earlier in the week, and the fact that Google turned on the Plagiarism feature that checks against other students' work.

The majority of our hour long episode is an interview with Denzel. Denzel is the Tech Director at a school that was recently hit with ransomware. He shares with us details of the attack, from waking up and realizing over his morning coffee that they had major issues, to the day he realized the "bad guys" posted data they harvested online.

His story drives home a few major points including the one we all know... the best prepared department can fall victim. We hope you learn something from our interview with Denzel!
