We need to redefine "critical infrastructure" #cybersecurity #ransomware #criticalinfrastructure

When a city gets hit with ransomware, residents can't pay utility bills, access emergency services, or even get married. When the water treatment plant goes down, the hospital can't operate, no matter how well you've secured it. We've been asking the wrong question. Instead of "does this technically qualify as critical infrastructure?" we should be asking "who needs help?" Small organizations like schools, nonprofits, water systems, and local governments face the same cybersecurity challenges but lack the resources to defend themselves.

Have we reached true anonymous AI? #cybersecurity #ai

PromptLock ransomware represents a chilling evolution: AI that makes real-time decisions about your data. Unlike traditional ransomware that blindly encrypts everything, this malware uses a locally-hosted LLM to analyze file contents and decide whether to exfiltrate or encrypt based on what it finds. It's essentially agentic AI making autonomous threat decisions.
