Ransomware
How ransomware gets in through doors employees control — email, logins, updates and the things you plug in — the warning signs in the quiet days before an attack, the first minutes (disconnect, leave it on, photograph, phone — never pay or reply), and why where you save your work decides whether it comes back.
