Description

As the world shifts a model of digitization of financial documents, important company and organizational data, employee records, and a general move away from paper bookkeeping, the proclivity that this information could be compromised by external actors increases. As we trust the “cloud” with more of our important and personal information, the chance that criminals could infiltrate these seemingly secure data repositories remains an imminent threat. 

Human Error – DemandWare is a website paywall that demands users pay a “ransom” in order reach their files, only to reveal that instead of giving them access to the the files they seek, they are instead given access to another paywall of “ransom ware”. This loop continues ad infinitum until all bank accounts are completely drained.
