I'm writing this post with a hope that it might help other people to start thinking about their security & also to understand that it can happen to anyone.Here are few things I wish I knew before:Don't download a torrent from risky websites (I tried to download a software from a website I never saw before, a few weeks ago and I think that's where I got the malware)If you hold any Bitcoin, Ethereum or any other cryptocurrency, Buy Nano ledger, Don't be cheap with your self, It doesn't worth the risk.https://www.ledgerwallet.com/products/ledger-nano-sUse MetaMask, It's a must for every crypto trader.In few minutes you can educate your self and prevent things like that from happening.

Experienced first ransomware episode - need advice on go forward business strategy
Hello all,Long time lurker to this subreddit, first time poster :)I manage IT and marketing for a company that acquires smaller companies that align with our overall strategy. The companies that we acquire are much smaller than us (usually 15-40 employees) and are kind of "mom and pop" owned and operated.From an IT perspective, we have tried to create somewhat of an "in the cloud" technology approach that we can plug these smaller companies into so that we can get everyone on the same basic systems and speed up the process of overall integration.We use Google for business for our email and "file server" solution. Each "division" (company we acquire) has their own folder in the drive that contains all of their related files and folders.WELL - 2 weeks ago one of our divisions that we recently purchased (2 months ago) was victim of a brute force attack which resulted in all files on the file server, the ERP server, and the CRM server to be encrypted with ransomware. Being that we just bought the company 2 months ago, we had not moved their files from their file server to our Google Drive just yet (we don't like to just go in guns a' blazin and make the employees feel like we are changing EVERYTHING at once lol). A backup solution was in place both locally (which was deleted via the hack) and in the cloud - so everything was ok.Being that it was my first experience with ransomware it got me thinking about how we are currently do things and what we should be doing on a go forward. IF that division had been on our Google Drive...that ransomware could have spread to the rest of the company...So I am really just trying to understand what "best practice" is for utilizing/structuring/securing Google Drive for business as a "file server" solution on a go forward, AND best practice for backing the Google Drive up for the entire company so that we can be as full proof as we can be for a potential ransomware situation.Our users currently use Google File Stream on their local PC's. We are running a daily backup to a local PC at our corporate location, and a weekly backup to an external hard drive that is then disconnected and moved off-site.I definitely see the need for a completely restructured approach - I just need some direction :) I appreciate any advice in advance!Thanks guys,-R

I found this in my banking app's username field. Security hole or random keyboard presses?
I have Chase save my username for faster logins. Today when I open the app, where the username would be I find this:
v6YDPBiQ+Y1wHZ+boAkMypifMD3KCHTZz6105o/3bUTrS5+CjJiyP9a9MS5gcgYMZcJvQ4MnDbin GmEEAg12z1WXXQ1gGCAFw4077l1lHeBgBRwJfTmbdDL4AEFN6CAPUSKbLQ0xRiEktedBgAdHvXb7 gyv/v8BkvIw5fSrixh0IRIzeS3ppO5pm+ugfOoDaLLajrc1uCRvCOtbWqsH8l5ydvRJ4RuxbwRAz45ptbpTGHm9wqH6+BPscOpXQpbI088o4heNTL3fviEXmwFaJMWZDwyitiJL1aRfidpk3Wbnd+HNo9VsPBy7yWsgbPEvkKLwnJw5d13oamcPbXDKpg== 
I doubt my phone turned on in my pocket. It seems too randomized for that. Maybe it did, but I thought I'd get y'all's opinion. Does this resemble anything concerning? Or should I just learn to turn my screen off?

I found a nice tool that lets you extract and view the source code of Chrome, Firefox and Opera extensions .. for those of you who want to know what your extensions are doing in the background.
Long story short.. I just went through a little ordeal where I wanted to install a very basic Firefox extension, but the extension requires full access to all websites I visit, including access to usernames and passwords that I input. I couldn't understand why, and didn't trust it. It was MPL v2 licensed, but no source code was provided.So... I went search for ways to extract the source and ran across this tool:https://robwu.nl/crxviewer/It's meant to be the demo site for an open source browser extension which has the same functionality (here), but I thought it works just as well as a standalone tool. And it turned out it's able to extract source from not only Firefox, but also Chrome and Opera extensions too.For those of you who are as paranoid as I am about what the extensions may or may not be doing without your knowledge, this is a great little tool. Has a built in JS beautifier as well, which is really nice.

Is WAF a must?
Thinking now about security hardening our web app (Google cloud, K8S as a service, API that is exposed to the web), considering to use some web application firewall (WAF) but it seems to have significant costs. How critical is having this vs plain ELB + nginx basic security measures like limiter
