The Ransomware crisis: It’s Time to Retake Control

The discussion so far has dovetailed into an argument for how techno-centric and HCCS can (and do) work together to resist and repel cybercrime, and although it is great to have a strategy for what we need to do, we need to remain cognisant of the sobering reality of our predicament: The ransomware crisis is far beyond the scope and capabilities of any single company or organisation.

Be Careful How You Share…

It’s timely to think about how you share, because the unintentional consequences could be dreadful and long-term, if you don’t take sensible precautions. I’m not talking about Covid-19, this time, but about sharing your personal information, like bank account details.
