UK government declares ransomware a “tier 1” national security threat — on par with terrorism and military crisis between states.

Those who have known me for a long time will know I’ve been banging on about ransomware for years. On here, on Twitter, in person. Here, I documented things like the emergence of Locky 7 years ago, one of the first big single endpoint ransomware incidents. I worked with the NCSC on WannaCry. I’ve bored everybody I can to say this is a big problem.
