I think I found my favourite "malware" whilst searching for ransomware; it moves your files off your desktop elsewhere and adds many copies of a photo of a cat wearing a mask. If you say yes it will remove the cats and restore your files after having to "go for dinner"😂

Remember The Lonely Nashville RV Owner Who Cant be a Terrorist Because He Played Theme Music before He Detonated®️? Turns out his girlfriend had reported him for making a bomb & talking about weapons & the military. The FBI did nothing. Except give her a psyche evaluation.

If you were putting together a list of conferences to sponsor/speak at in 2021 - assuming continued virtual-only for now - what would be on your list? (North America/EMEA focus preferred)
