On time this week? Absolutely! We take these things seriously around here, you know that! Happy Friday UNSECURITY Podcast listeners! It was a great week for us, hope yours was good (or better). Weeks like this one at FRSecure and SecurityStudio are always special. We held our end of quarter meeting at our Minnetonka, MN […]
A friend of mine brought something to my attention this week. He said he heard there’s a guy out there claiming there are unhackable companies. Me: Unhackable? Friend: Yep, unhackable. Me: What?! No way man. This can’t be true. Friend: Oh yeah, it’s true. Want me to send you a link? Me: Absolutely. I’ve got […]
Happy Monday! What?! Yeah Monday. Friday came and went, then Saturday and Sunday did too. These show notes that are supposed to be put here on Friday, didn’t get here till now. Enjoy! Last week was a great week until Thursday, that’s when the travel adventures began. I’ll write about being stuck in Newark, NJ […]
Happy (belated) Birthday America! Hope you all had a great 4th of July holiday! Both Brad and I (sort of) took the week off last week. We got some much needed rest for the 2nd half 2019 push. Brad spent time with his family, catching some huge fish with his kids. I made a road […]

Happy Friday! 2019 is almost half-gone. The midpoint is coming next Monday/Tuesday, and that’s crazy to me. Hard to believe that half the year is already gone, but holy cow it’s been a good first half! Hope yours was too! Lots of things happening as usual, but I’ll spare you the details and get right […]
Another city ransomware attack, another payment to the attackers. Another win for the bad guys, and another loss for the rest of us. The question is, are you going to do anything about it? This time the news comes from Lake City, Florida. The 12,000+ citizens of the small(ish) northern Florida town will foot the […]
Yesterday I wrote a pointed blog post about ransomware (Don’t Suck – Stop Paying Ransoms) and how it ticks me off when people pay a ransom to an attacker. This morning we recorded episode 33 of the UNSECURITY Podcast about the same subject. During the discussion with Brad on the show, I made the comment […]
Brad is leading this week’s show, but it’s NOT his fault that I didn’t get the show notes posted until now (Sunday). As always, I hope everyone/anyone reading this had a great week last week. I believe that every week holds something special if you look for it with the right frame of mind. I […]
