#Cybersecurity #Ransomware #Activism #Cyberactivism: "A new and increasingly active ransomware group that’s attacked nearly 200 organizations in less than two months has a different spin on its extortion efforts: Don’t pay us, pay a charity.

So far, this unnamed group that is at least publicly claiming to be driven by anti-capitalist sentiment and its own brand of cyber benevolence is largely targeting users of Zimbra, an online workplace collaboration tool.

“Unlike traditional ransomware groups, we’re not asking you to send us money,” read the text of one ransom note posted April 2 on an online forum for Zimbra users. “We just dislike corporations and economic inequality. We simply ask that you make a donation to a non-profit that we approve of. It’s a win-win, you can probably get a tax deduction and good PR from your donation if you want.”"

Just saw "The internet's own boy: the story of Aaron Swartz" and wow, this guy was just amazing. I didn't know his story, just little things I'd heard here and there but now, everything is clearer. I understand why a lot of people miss him (and me from now on).

I really suggest you watch this #documentary.

Plus, on an open platform 😉
