🧵The latest Threat Landscape Update from @RelativityHQ’s Calder7 security team details a particularly concerning new trend in #ransomware, which combines Ransomware-as-a-Service (RAAS) with employee-led Insider Threats. #cybersecurity #infosec #hackers #SundayReads (1/7)
RAAS has been around since early 2020 and has quickly become the leading vector for deploying #ransomware. The newest iteration of it is enticing employees to intentionally deploy #ransomware w/i their own org. A particularly nasty case of insider threat (2/7)
Reported by @briankrebs, threat actors trying this technique are using the #Demonware strain and are targeting networks of interest in the U.S., Canada, Australia, U.K., and for RDP, VPN, - corporate email access specifically (3/7)
It's #EyalaReads time! Hope you're ready for your weekly recommendations of inspiring (and sometimes infuriating) pieces of writing about #Feminism, #WomensRights & #Africa. Definitely my favorite way of ending the week!

Combating the misuse of tradition to justify gender-based violence was my entry point into #feminist work. Reading this @dwnews piece on womxn who are called witches & persecuted for it reminded me of why this will always be a priority of mine.

Has Rama Salla Dieng's "Talking back" series really come to an end? I loved every interview. This last one with @YaraSallam, a #feminist from #Egypt, is shorter but packed with great insights (and some awesome reading recommendations). Read it!

Hello Friends! Somehow Sunday has come again to close one of these feel-long-but-go-in-a-flash weeks 2020 has specialized in. So here I am with my list of #recommendedreads about #Africa #WomensRights & #Feminism, and an exciting announcement!

If you know (or just follow) me you will know that #feminist sisterhood is the core of what I am about. So of course @TheJamaJack's ode to the sisters who nurture her is at the top of this reading list. Thank you sis for sharing!

@TheJamaJack piece reminded me of what Dr. Celeste Henery wrote in @HistoryWO about radical friendships: "a type of friendship, driven by an uncertain but no less wondrous attempt to become more of ourselves. I would call it sacred." On point.

As #Afrifem we often say that "we stand on the shoulders of giants". How much do we actually know about our #feminist foremothers? The question came as I read @EverjoiceWin's moving obituary for Mabel Moyo. May she rest in power.

My plan with the Sunday #EyalaReads was always to spread joy, but this week, I can't do it. This Black woman is carrying too much hurt around, and my selection of #recommendedreads shows it. Sharing them anyway after a long debate with myself though. #SundayReads
Being sad and angry and afraid to put all of it in words, I am in awe of the Black women who have done so. That's what today's #EyalaReads is all about.
So thank you @_TARYNitUP for your homage to Oluwatoyin Salau. She deserved so much better indeed.

I'm fascinated by blindspots, so I've been wondering: who are we (not) talking about when we chant #BlackLivesMatter? Iconic transgender activist @immissmajor told @blkwomenradical why we need to be inclusive of the Black trans community.

Today marks the end of my 5th week in #lockdown and this drawing I saw on Instagram (at HowDoYouAdult) is an exact depiction of my current state. So, just a heads-up: today's #SundayReads thread will be short! But as always, great reads about #women #feminism & #Africa. Enjoy! 
My favorite: @samirasawlani's piece about her younger sister Kaz, a lovely baby girl with dimples turned health worker, who now works tirelessly to save her #COVID19 patients. I wept the whole time.

Happy Sunday! I came to do my weekly #SundayReads roundup but truth is, I've obsessively read #ToniMorrison tributes, and since @wellreadblkgirl has already done a beautiful job of collecting them, I'll just share that. (Thanks @EverjoiceWin for flagging)

All the #ToniMorrison tributes have not just moved me; they've got me wondering why we tend to celebrate our icons only when they're no longer here to feel our love. Looking forward, I'll be celebrating my #Afrifem sheroes on Eyala while they're still alive and well.
But for now, I'm using a much-needed family vacation as a chance to take a break from social media. I hear it's called a #digitaldetox. Or #selfcare 🤷🏾♀️
I'm hoping to rest and reflect, but I'll mostly be fuming over the SCAM that is family vacation for mothers...
