S3 Ep1: Ransomware - is it really OK to pay? - a podcast by Sophos

Join us for the first episode in our brand new Series 3! This week we wonder whether Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a waste of time, explain the concept of "linkless phishing", ask if it's ever OK to pay a ransomware demand, and advise what to do when the CEO won't stop looking at naughty sites.

With Paul Ducklin, Kimberly Truong and Doug Aamoth
