Year after year, the ransomware landscape changes dramatically. In 2019, a new resurgence of attacks occurred as businesses and government institutions became the main targets of ransomware, given their capacity to yield larger payouts. The most recent attack was against Garmin, a navigation systems company, on July 23. Due to the attack, many of its online services such as customer support, website functions and company communications were affected.

Is Bitcoin Too Hard To Understand? I’ve spent a huge part of the last three years explaining Bitcoin to general audiences and the most common form of resistance I encounter is: “Bitcoin is too complicated.

Hope you had an excellent weekend. It’s become a bit of a rarity lately while bitcoin was sitting flat, but now that crypto is in a bull market again, I suppose it makes sense to see some volatility over the weekend. Hope it’s not surprising to anyone. Stocks are moving up, precious metals are marching higher, and capital is flowing toward new age financial technology in a way that we’ve never really seen before.

The Brady Bunch: The original Zoom callers. During this time of Coronavirus Communication (CoCo), everyone is doing calls on Zoom. The way you look on Zoom matters. Poor lighting and camera placement are the new equivalent of coming into the workplace unshowered and unshaven. At Media Shower, we’ve been using Zoom for years.
