You know, you can click this link to get access to the data shield site. And I sent it to the IT guys. I'm like, I don't think this is real. They're like, ah, congratulations. You figured out our little trick of the day, you know, because they did test us. It's a constant. And so food manufacturers are going to face it. And it's not just their own systems. There's attacks from all different angles.

Like we talked about, it could be the manufacturers making donuts. They're fine. Put it on the truck and that trucking company has a problem. It is a complex web we have to supply food to our country. And we initially came out and food security was not focused on cybersecurity or even protecting the food itself. But more food security was the security of knowing your next meal is going to pay.

You know, the inner cities or rural communities that don't have a lot of access to food, they have a family dollar or that's it. You know, they have food insecurity. So that was where our mind was a decade ago. Food insecurity was getting food.

Now, food security is not just getting food, it's making sure the food is edible, it's safe, and that once it's gone off the shelf, the truck's going to come and fill it again. And, you know, so getting more complex. And I think technology, as much as it's supposed to make our lives easier, and it will, but it also makes it more complex, at least for folks who deal with IT problems. Exactly.

Yeah. And I think I forget sometimes the lack of knowledge that people have how cyber attacks happen or what they actually where they're coming from. I feel like people read the news and or I think they listen to the news. So I would assume they kind of know where it comes from. But then it dawns on me they don't really do it justice.

Well, before we get on the call, you mentioned that these are all shell companies. They have their own marketing teams and their HR teams and they act like a normal corporate environment. But they're a hacker gang, you know, and some of those people are forced to work there because extortion and other things. It is it's not just the hacker and the hoodie any longer. It's the.

They got they got brand names. They got Lockbit and Black Cat. Yeah. The FBI now is worried about one called Snatch. I don't know if that's the hit movie or what.

I don't know. I just I find it to be really interesting. I don't know if you've seen the movie The Beekeeper yet, Jason Stamos' new one. It's actually all about what happens when a scam artist and some hackers get in and steal money from an older woman and what he does to them. I feel like it's a victory movie for all of us who work in the industry. However, it is quite violent.

But I do feel like it's an important movie for people to watch if you can stomach violence to understand the extreme lengths that they go to to get your money and how they scam people, especially the elderly. And as a human being, it's just so frustrating that humans are so awful to each other.

know like it's this is absurd but this has been happening on every level since the dawn of time extortion happens and this is just a new way of doing it but it's it's exactly and it's in it's in real time for us because we're seeing it thanks internet and it's hard so i think a lot of it comes down to awareness so i appreciated that you had an awareness moment with me because and then reminding me that i need to be more proactive in explaining it to people yeah
