And now my phone has malware that you don't realize is now going to your computer.

So things like that, watch out from everyone, but especially from people you don't know, don't trust, and haven't been validated.

First, in that moment, it is tough because those ransomware emails, more than not, are legit and real.

Companies have said, hey, we've chosen to not pay.

All our information is gone, and we're going to start from scratch.

Everybody can't do that.

But that is a real, real scenario because you ask what to do when it happens.

So that's real.

Number two, maybe get a security expert just to verify that it's not a double fake.

Like, hey, Holla, hey, Ramon, your computer's locked.

Holla's scrambling, getting ready to pay or not, and realizes, oh.

That wasn't what they said it was.

So that's immediately get to a security expert who can help you with that.

What to do before.

That's where it goes back, as you just hinted, as you said very eloquently, blocking those things before they come in and then good backup.

Now you need to be careful.

And this is where getting an expert to help, getting the right software to help, et cetera, because make sure you're not backing up bad data.

But a good backup can solve that because with the right forensic team, they can say, okay, great.

This was infected seven days ago.

Sorry, Hal.
