A ransomware attack on the Yap State Department of Health Services in Micronesia forced the entire health network offline, disabling internet access, email communication, and digital health systems, while IT contractors and government agencies work to assess data breaches and restore services. This incident follows a pattern of cybercriminals targeting small government agencies with limited cybersecurity resources, aligning with recent ransomware attacks in Palau, Guam, and other Pacific nations, demonstrating an ongoing trend of exploiting underfunded critical infrastructure. #CyberSecurity #Ransomware therecord.media/ransomware-att

How do you make a cybersecurity presentation about government requirements be interesting? In this photo, you see me casting a spell on the attendees to keep their eyes open. ;-)

The secret to making an interesting presentation is to start by advertising it accurately. That way, the only people who bother to show up are people who are already interested in the topic. That’s half the battle right there – getting the right audience.

The next step is to provide useful information and actionable steps in a way that’s easy to understand and helps the listeners feel like they can successfully do the things that need to be done.

Assemble motivated attendees. Then, tell them:
What they need to know.
What to do.
How to do it.

(This photo is from the ITA Showcase on March 13, where my topic was “Meeting Cybersecurity Requirements for Federal Grants in Critical Infrastructure,” which as we all know, is a universally appealing topic).

📵 Your phone number is your weakest link.

Hackers use SIM swap attacks to steal your number, reset your accounts, and bypass 2FA. It happens more than you think.

💡 Protect yourself:
✔ Remove your number from important accounts (email, banking)
✔ Use app-based 2FA (Aegis, YubiKey, OTP)—NEVER SMS
✔ Ask your carrier for a port-out PIN

📌 Your phone number shouldn’t be your identity.
