As mobile applications are becoming increasingly popular, the need to secure them is greater than ever. All mobile applications should implement three core defences to significantly reduce the threat landscape and discourage opportunist attackers.

I would like to see companies include personal infosec help as a benefit. Such as:

* Free AV software for home/family use
* Free password managers for home/family use
* Bonus pay for passing quarterly phishing tests and infosec training
* Free IT training/support for family

It's been a while since I have bricked a vm. Upon reinstalling kali I was pleased to see that it boots into a user account instead of root by default. Seems a bit crazy that it took this long

As of todays Bitcoin & BCH to GBP value. The total sent to this address is £138114.3

One bitcoin address that seemed to appear on a lot of the WannaCry screenshots is 12t9YDPgwueZ9NyMgw519p7AA8isjr6SMw

Thanks to the beauty of blockchain we can see how many people paid and how much.

We can also see how much Bitcoin cash was paid (BCH)

Paying to unlock your files after a ransomware attack:

A - The more companies that choose to pay, the more ransomware will spread. (If no one paid, it wouldn't be worth it)

B - you have no guarantee at all that you will receive a decryption key (no files, less money )
