Jennifer Medbury Lecturer in Intelligence and Security, Edith Cowan University Paul Haskell-Dowland Professor of Cyber Security Practice, Edith Cowan University While ransomware incidents have been occurring for more than 30 years, only in the last decade has the term “ransomware” appeared regularly in popular media. Ransomware is a type of malicious software that blocks access to computer systems or encrypts files until a ransom is paid. Cybercriminal gangs have adopted ransomware as a get-rich-quick scheme. Now, in the era of “ransomware as a service”, this has become a prolific and highly profitable tactic. Providing ransomware as a service means groups benefit from affiliate schemes where commission is paid for successful ransom demands. Although only one of the many gangs operating, LockBit has been increasingly visible, with several high-profile victims recently…

FTP service was one of the easiest and vulnerable target for hackers to hack in 80’s and 90’s. Not only hacking this service was simple but it also provided them THAT which is most valuable even now, DATA. But is hacking FTP still relevant today after almost five decades of its beginning? Well, it is estimated that there are still around 20-30 million FTP servers active worldwide. The number of increasing FTP client and server software is a testimony to this.

Kayleen Manwaring Senior Research Fellow, UNSW Allens Hub for Technology, Law & Innovation and Senior Lecturer, School of Private & Commercial Law, UNSW Law & Justice, UNSW Sydneye Spam might not have brought an end to the internet or email, as some dire predictions in the early 2000s claimed it could – but it’s still a massive pain. Despite all the spam being removed by spamfiltering technologies, most people still receive spam every day. How do these messages end up flooding our inboxes? And are there any legal consequences for the senders? What is spam?

That said, “spam”…
