Yesterday, I wrote the first part of this 5-part series on fixing data breaches and I focused on education. The next few parts of this series all focus on cures - how do we fix data breaches once bad code has already been written or bad server configurations deployed?

This is part of the opening monologue of the Ozark series and when I first heard it, I immediately stopped the show and dropped it into this blog post. It's a post that has been many years coming, one I started drafting about 5 years ago. This is a measure of my choices. Of my wife's choices.

This morning I decided to write some ransomware. I've never done it before, and I can't code in C, the language ransomware is mostly commonly written in, but I have a reasonably good idea of what ransomware does.

Back in 2013, I was beginning to get the sense that data breaches were becoming a big thing.
