Backup Central, Monday, February 23rd, 2026
Ransomware as a service has turned cybercrime into a franchise - and you don't need any technical skills to buy in.
This blog post summarizes the main points of my latest podcast episode.
I've been doing this long enough to remember when ransomware meant one bad actor who wrote the code, found a way in, deployed the attack, and collected the money. That person had to be good at all of it. Those days are over. Ransomware as a service has completely changed the game, and if you're an IT professional or backup admin who hasn't fully wrapped your head around what that means, this post is for you.
