One of the most interesting things FBI Director Wray said in his interview w/ @WSJ was that companies hit with ransomware should come forward because the FBI can often help them obtain the encryption keys needed to unlock systems without paying a ransom. https://t.co/E763PMHJpF pic.twitter.com/HqMJOgk4q5

FBI Director Christopher Wray told the Wall Street Journal that the ransomware threat is similar to the challenges posed by 9/11.

He called on Russia's government to do more to crack down on cyber criminal groups based in the country. https://t.co/bfJvHAyeYJ
