CERT-SE:s veckobrev v.27

Veckobrev

I veckan som gick var det tre år sedan NotPetya härjade i it-system världen över, säkerligen hektiska dagar för många läsare. Veckans länksamling tittar bland annat på vilka lärdomar som kan dras från NotPetya, men även senaste nytt om diverse ransomware, botnät och cyberangrepp.

Trevlig helg önskar CERT-SE!
