Rich in Russia.

Hi there, 

The residential real estate sales industry is responding to the recent surge of attacks on agents and clients by rethinking IT security. Doing business in the Digital Age, especially in an industry like real estate, requires information security at the individual level, on personal technology, and it must work like the professional works - everywhere, all of the time, and across all of their devices. 

We will be in San Diego the week of June 27th helping one of the real estate industry's largest trade associations prepare and position their members for their new face of risk. The SDAR, the Greater San Diego Association of Realtors® has partnered with Total Digital Security to provide its members with commercial-class solutions to protect their clients, their brokers, and themselves. Read more below, and if you are in town, I hope you will join us at one of our workshops.

Russian crime bosses are using the economic crisis in their country to turn ransomware attacks into a dynasty.

Like you buy software-as-a-service, for example Microsoft Office 365, or any of Adobe's products, entreprenuerial cartel leaders are enticing their out-of-work comrades with ransomware-as-a-service. Anyone can participate by renting the software, which works for use in high-volume ransomware attacks, and sharing a cut of the profits with the syndicate.

Read more below, about:

• How an unemployed Russian can make 9x the average salary with a ransomware subscription.

• How the ransomware-as-a-service business model returns an ROI of 1,425% per month, with virtually no start-up capital required.

• How crime bosses are scoring $30 million and more per year, by scaling their business with ransomware-as-a-service incentives for unemployed Russians. 

Finally, as we expected, ransomware demands are sky-rocketing and we are now seeing $20,000 plus ransoms in the field. We think the ransoms will continue to climb, perhaps another 6 -12 months, and then decline precipitously as they become daily, mainstreet occurences for anyone unprepared.

The FBI responded to the recent surge in ransomware on June 1st, with this Public Service Announcement, (click to view).

 > Street-level ransoms at $250 - $1,200.

Cyber Security for Life

What is the best way to re-position for your future in the Digital Age, and the new era of risk we face? Private Email Domains - to get off the grid of abuse and reclaim control of personal information is your #1 priority.

Private email isn't the only answer, and re-positioning is a process - not an on/off switch. But, privatizing your email is a significant move toward reducing your digital footprint, and it's the best way to get started on your journey toward digital autonomy and information security.

The Great Digital Divide

Hackers are using the mega-trend toward increasingly cheap, powerful technology to bully and assault the most vulnerable of their potential targets; individuals and their personal technology.

We, as individuals, families, professionals, and leader's, can also ride the wave of the mega-trend and use cheap, powerful technology to protect ourselves.  

Total Digital Security seeks out the best IT security technology available anywhere, and we make it accessible, easy to use, and affordable to the rest of us.

We uniquely provide commercial-class, cyber security technologies, not available on the App or Play Stores, to those that "get it", understand what is at stake, and want to position for long-term survival and success in the Digital Age. No IT department required.
