    Working for a company that provides cyber security, I can tell you no company is too small or too large from cyber attacks and you're at risk if you haven't implemented a cyber security solution. It takes years to build your business and seconds to lose it. Standard "off the shelf anti virus" does little to protect from attacks.

    I've also come across sketchy operatives, veterans with a history of violence (also targeting me & others). They had access in 2013/14 to alter social media posts of the WA state Sheriff's onboard vehicle computer's database. Meaning, someone had access to alter the local law enforcement's database - making it look like I posted something I didn't. I showed my phone text/post to the local Sheriff - it was terrifying that a criminal had access to do that. Surprisingly to me, the Sheriff wasn't surprised, wasn't shocked. It's far worse than you think and much of it is domestic w/some foreign connections.

    There are a very discreet number of folks who have the skills to pull off these kind of attacks. In the 1980s we had ways of dealing with bad actors that had it in them to harm large groups of people. I wouldn't be against bringing some of that Cold warfare back. If it was discovered that hacking infrastructure was bad for your health, I imagine that a lot of this stuff would stop. Probably not going to happen though. ( ;

    Nothing to do with wired or wireless. Most exploits rely on a user clicking a malicious link. Social engineering, poor ID and password management (same admin ID and password provides access to multiple systems allowing an attacker to go sideways), and unpatched software. That's all it takes for an exploit on one machine to go sideways and compromise the network.

    I’m retire now, when I worked at the Hewitt Packet as a Latin Contract Representative. We were getting quotes for ready for the HP salesman. Having Microsoft server background I noticed the the server IP’s and MAC address were on the quotes and contracts. At this point in time the company had a great idea to outsource tech support to Cheyenne India. I brought this security up to the manager and they didn’t think it was important. What a back door left open to ransom thieves! Some one needs to to check this out!

    Don't pay the criminals then! Backup and secure your data, educate your staff every now and then, and never pay the ransom. Even if you do, you never have a guarantee you get your system back, and/or the data weren't leaked to the hackers already.
