Smile On Fridays secured coverage in WIRED for Red Canary<\/h3>\n

ON THE FRIDAY<\/span>\u00a0heading into Memorial Day weekend this year, it was\u00a0meat processing giant JBS. On the Friday before the Fourth of July, it was\u00a0IT management software company Kaseya\u00a0and, by extension,\u00a0over a thousand businesses\u00a0of varying size. It remains to be seen whether Labor Day will see a\u00a0high-profile ransomware meltdown\u00a0as well, but one thing is clear: Hackers love holidays.<\/p>\n

Really, ransomware hackers love regular weekends, too. But a long one? When everyone\u2019s off carousing with family and friends and studiously avoiding anything remotely office-related? That\u2019s the good stuff. And while the trend isn\u2019t new, a joint warning issued this week by the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency underscores how serious the threat has become.<\/p>\n
