This is scaring me so I guess I'm learning

Trial by fire

I love that the background photo for the thumbnail is of my hometown.

This stuff is scary but so fascinating to me. It's part of why I want to ultimately get into cybersecurity, so I can both study this stuff and protect my family and others from it.

Amazing video, Professor! Wish I knew these things earlier. Would be nice if they taught us these in school.

[@jakearington4077]

nervous that the link he posts to see botnets may actually be a botnet thing itself

I keep my data on an two separate encrypted external drives, so any files on my desktop aren't all that important.

[@richardh568]

Just wondering......Can this type of ransomware get to your external disks? I've often heard that malware and viruses can only affect your internal hard disk. Is this true? Thanks....

[@aidenwhitfield312]

From my experience it is entirely dependant on they type of malware/ransomware used, Some forms attack and encrypt just your internal storage, whilst others can encrypt both internal and external storage, aswell as devices to assist in the spreading of the malware. My advice is never to treat malware as a static form of threat as it is constantly changing and adapting every second, however the forms of malware (keyloggers, Trojans, Ransomware, etc) stay somewhat static until new forms are discovered. hope this helps :)
