\u00a0Because traditional AV solutions use a blacklist as its primary method of malware detection. \u00a0This means, all unknown files are treated as safe until proven otherwise. \u00a0The problem is, all of these new malware threats are all &#8220;unknown&#8221; until proven harmful. \u00a0Therefore, blacklist security solutions allow them to run.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cart.pcpitstop.com\/go.asp?id=504631\">Whitelist security solutions<\/a> treat unknown files as bad until proven good. \u00a0Therefore, malicious files will not execute because they have not been proven safe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Money Wasn&#8217;t Their End-Game&#8230; Combined, WannaCry and NotPetya, the two global attacks that hit the world in the last 90 days, received payouts of approximately $150,000 USD. \u00a0To some it may sound like a lot &#8211; but to cyber criminals, that&#8217;s nothing. \u00a0WannaCry and NotPetya were not in corrupting company data with the end goal [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":55159,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[4949,5000,5090],"tags":[5016,4900,5291,4363,5112,5252],"class_list":["post-57548","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ransomware","category-ransomwarewar","category-slider","tag-cerber","tag-locky","tag-notpetya","tag-ransomware","tag-ransomware-attacks","tag-wannacry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>And You Thought WannaCry and NotPetya Were Bad...<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"WannaCry and NotPetya only brought in a total of 150K in ransom demands.
