Beyond the regular humdrum of security vulnerabilities and patches this week, a slew of stories covered varying topics ranging from NASA to Tinder. The Threatpost team broke down the top stories of the week, including:
A ransomware webinar hosted by Threatpost editor Tara Seals, which included experts from Recorded Future, Malwarebytes and Moss Adams. The webinar looked at the top ransomware trends and threats, and outlined how enterprises can protect themselves. A Florida city hit three weeks ago by a ransomware attack voted this week to pay the hackers a ransom of $600,000. A Threatpost feature, that looked at top dating apps like Match.com and Tinder, found that the services are collecting and sharing a disturbing range of data, from chat messages to sexual orientation. Rampant security-operations bungling allowed cyberattackers to infiltrate NASA's JPL network, which carries human mission data.
