Thanks for joining us for a summary of our report on BC Housing's Non-Profit Asset
Transfer Program.
The Ministry Responsible for Housing and BC Housing introduced the Non-Profit Asset Transfer
Program (or NPAT) in 2013 to generate cash for investment in social housing.
The program will bring in approximately $500 million by selling some of the province's
social housing assets to non-profit housing providers.
The ministry is using the money from these sales to expand rental assistance programs
and fund almost 4,000 units of social housing.
However, the program will create a long-term cost commitment for the province because it
has agreed to pay the non-profits $30 million a year to cover their mortgages.
This adds up to $1 billion over the 35-year life of the program, before discounting into
today's dollars.
We also found that the ministry has entered into this program without demonstrating that
it will result in better outcomes for social housing, for those that depend on this type
of housing.
In particular, the ministry hasn't fully considered how selling some of its social
housing lands and buildings could affect both affordability and availability.For example,
will non-profit providers need to raise rents to cover the cost of aging buildings and remain
viable?
Or, will the non-profits be able to keep the buildings as social housing?
As well, the ministry has not established how the NPAT program contributes to its mandate
to provide safe, affordable and appropriate housing.
This is because the ministry has not defined what these terms mean or how they will be
achieved.
Like many other jurisdictions across Canada, B.C. faces challenges when it comes to social
housing: 1. demand for social housing continues to
increase and it's exceeding supply.
2.
there's also close to $1 billion in repairs needed on aging buildings, but no funding
to cover them, and 3.
funding from the federal government for current social housing agreements is set to end by
2036.
Government needs well-designed social housing programs to help address these challenges.
Our report makes five recommendations that focus on how the ministry and BC Housing can:
1.
More fully define the NPAT program's goals; 2.
Monitor and report on the program's results; 3.
Better ensure that the non-profits meet the desired program outcomes;
4.
Better understand the potential risks of the program; and,
5.
Establish how the NPAT program contributes to the ministry's mandate.
Government should always have complete information about the potential benefits of a program,
as well as the costs and risks before moving forward with implementation.
These are the cornerstones of evidence-based decision-making.
That's our summary for today.

Resistance Maricopa: Reyna Montoya - Duration: 4:11.
In 2013, there was one of the biggest picks for deportations
2012 and 2013, President Obama had deported close to two million people
so while that was happening, my dad was one of the people who got into the deportation process
after that, many families started Facebooking me, letting me know
"Hey, my dad is also in deportation proceedings, what can we do?"
So we run a big campaign, and we were part of the Not 1 More campaign where were were
trying to let people know President Obama who run saying that in the first 100 days
he was going to deliver immigration reform
He didn't deliver that, and he only delivered many, many deportations
We had had four individuals who had locked themselves up at ICE to let them know
"Hey this is inhumane, you shouldn't be deporting people"
They actually took away a bus, we didn't know who was in that bus
We just knew that it was undocumented immigrants that were getting ready to get deported
So the whole community started arriving with posters and we were able to stop that bus
At that moment the police didn't know what to do
But I just remember at that time that I just fell on my knees
and I was praying and I was holding the poster
And I was seeing the officer and I was seeing all these people who were chained up in shackles
Luckily because of our direct action we were able to meet a man who was in chains inside
of that bus
The next day he was let go, his name was Marco Antonio, and he was telling us he had three children
two sons and one daughter
He was detained by a sheriff, and he asked him for his papers and that's how he got into
deportation proceedings.
Part of the work that we do at Aliento is doing community workshops through art
We put families in groups
We have children as little as five years old to like twelve, and then youth and then adults
And through art they are able to express their fears and anxieties and also their hopes
and one of the most transformative experiences for me was when we did a workshop with children
who were five to ten years old
and we were talking about who were the people that they need
and most of them drew pictures and painted pictures of their parents who were detained
And really able to see like a six year old explaining the photograph that he pretty much painted
and he was saying yes this is police
and they took away my mom and they took her to immigration
And knowing that our children are growing up like that with such a heavy trauma and
things that don't need to happen
I can't really comprehend it or articulate it in words, because I can tell you theoretically
but when you're there with the kids and you're seeing these paintings
and so much pain that they have
You can't forget to think about what is the future, and what is the present we're
putting in front of them
And I also think about how later on, I told them, it's like, can you imagine what it
would be
A world without police, a world without violence, a world without detention centers
And they painted beautiful portraits of community with a lot of hearts and shining stars, and
all their loved ones were together
We as a community, we as a nation have a responsibility to be protecting one another to be protecting
The human dignity to be able to recognize that when injustices are being done to our
neighbors to our co-workers
It's affecting our communities, it's affecting the way that we relate to one another
its impacting the way we make policies and laws that we make systems that continue to
oppress a specific group of people, while others strive

Experts in Mexico unearth Ancient Maya statue depicting an 'Alie - Duration: 3:48.
Experts in Mexico unearth Ancient Maya statue depicting an �Alien� figure
Experts have unearthed a mysterious statue belonging to the ancient Maya civilization.
The curious artifact depicts �an alien humanoid� holding a human head.
The statue consists of a snake that seems to surround the figure of a small �ALIEN
humanoid� seen in a profile view holding a human head.
Notice the strange head and oval-shaped eyes.
Directors of the museum of Xiutetelco�Puebla, Mexico� have revealed the discovery of an
important archaeological piece belonging to the ancient Mayan culture, which inhabited
the area sometimes during 400 AD.
The �controversial statue consists of a snake that surrounds the figure of a small
�ALIEN humanoid� seen in a profile view, holding a human head.
Notice the strange head and oval-shaped eyes.
The fascinating piece contains four inlays of mineral such as obsidian, turquoise, jade
and shell, and was found by public workers in the Maxtaloyan community� in the upper
part of the mentioned municipality�while improvement works were being carried out.
According to �El Sol de Puebla�, the discovery is �a fundamental sample of the Mayan culture
that for a long time inhabited the region, settling in the present day municipality,
leaving important vestiges.�
Rafael Juli�n Montiel, in charge of the museum of Xiutetelco, said that since this
area is adjacent to the archaeological zone of Cantona, among other communities, more
pieces of this type could be found.
In the near future�and especially during construction works�experts will monitor
the area in hopes of discovering similar artifacts and preventing damage to possible future discoveries.
Likewise, the director of the museum added that Maxtaloyan is home to a volcano, similar
to that of the community of �Los Humeros� in the municipality of Chignautla, which has
already erupted in the past, warning that there is danger of the volcano erupting and
burying an entire pre-Hispanic settlement.
Monitel concluded:�At the moment, more than 5 thousand pieces have been discovered in
several points of this municipality.
All of them have been taken care of and are exhibited in the museum, which receives a
large number of visitors who are eager to learn more about the ancestral wealth that
Xiutetelco has.�
Experts have not yet concluded what exactly the newly discovered figurine represents,
embodied in the ancient Mayan sculpture.
This has led to the emergence of several theories among those who have had a chance to see it
in person.
Some people undoubtedly see a classic �gray� alien that holds a human head while others
add that the serpent may symbolize an ancient �reptilian deity.�
Many would agree that the ancient statue clearly depicts a gray alien�with his elongated
head, and
oval shaped eyes.

Federal Flash: 3/31/17: An Update on Education Funding; Staffing Issues at ED; and Lifeline Setbacks - Duration: 4:31.
Hello, and welcome back to Federal Flash.
I'm Phillip Lovell, and I'm joined by Nikki McKinney.
Next week, Congress leaves town for its spring break.
And like many students facing upcoming mid-term exams, the House and Senate have a midterm
of their own, they must pass a bill to fund the federal government for the remaining five
months of the fiscal year.
Current funding expires on April 28th, and the stakes are particularly high since House
Republicans couldn't deliver on their campaign promise to repeal and replace the Affordable
Care Act.
This week, President Trump made their job just a bit more difficult.
For that, we'll turn to Nikki.
Thanks, Phillip.
Last Friday, President Trump sent Congress a list of possible cuts to the education budget
that would go into effect this coming school year.
These cuts are in addition to the 13.5 percent cut he proposed for next year, which we discussed
in the last episode of Federal Flash.
For this year, he's proposing $3 billion in cuts to the Department of Education.
It's unusual for a president to propose cuts this late in the process, and since a lot
of work has been done on the legislation we don't think his proposal will have much of
an impact on the coming school year.
Representative Tom Cole, a Republican from Oklahoma who chairs the House subcommittee
that funds the Department of Education, said quote "it's a little late in the process.
We've closed out our bills...
No entering administration should be negotiating the budget for the year it's in, because they
don't have the people there to do it... in order to make intelligent decisions and even
recommendations."
End quote.
While the president's proposal for more cuts will hopefully have little impact next school
year, it definitely demonstrates where his priorities are, or more to the point, it shows
what's not a priority for him.
Thanks, Nikki.
It looks like Congress is helping on the budget, at least for now.
On other matters, not so much.
In fact, it looks like the education accountability regulation isn't the only good idea being
rescinded in Washington.
According to press reports, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos offered a key position at the
Department of Education to New Mexico's Secretary of Education, Hannah Skandera, only to have
to take back the offer after Senate Republicans balked because Skandera has supported the
common core.
This is a real missed opportunity because Skandera would have brought valuable experience
in education policy to the Department.
It's also unfortunate that it seems the politics of common core still loom large in Washington,
even though the issue has largely been settled in the states
The Department's loss is New Mexico's gain.
Thanks, Phillip.
In other news, a few weeks ago, you may recall our story on how the new Federal Communications
Commission Chairman Ajit Pai undercut the FCC's planned expansion of home internet access
to low-income families.
Last week, more than 50 school district superintendents sent the FCC a letter asking it to reverse
its decision, saying, quote "High-quality home internet access is as essential to learning
today as traditional text books were thirty years ago."
It looks like Chairman Pai is taking yet another step to slow the expansion of broadband to
low-income households.
Instead of allowing providers to be licensed at the federal level, he wants providers to
be licensed at the state level.
In other words, instead of dealing with one bureaucracy, a company that wants to provide
home internet access to low-income families nationwide would have to deal with 50 state
bureaucracies.
In response, Keith Krueger, CEO of the Consortium for School Networking told the Wall Street
Journal, "It's going to hurt rural and smaller states because of the time and effort that
it takes to apply to 50 state public utility commissions."
End quote
Thanks, Nikki.
One final note: In a previous episode of Federal Flash, we reported that Congress passed legislation
to rescind the accountability regulation implementing ESSA.
As expected, President Trump signed the legislation earlier this week.
That's it for now.

How to Recover from a Ransomware Attack - Duration: 3:47.
Hi, this is Hans-Eirik Hanifl for E-Commerce Gorilla and in this third and final part of
our ransomware series, we're going to be discussing recovering from a ransomware attack.
First, how do you know you've been infected?
These types of attacks only work when the user knows they have lost access and the perpetrators
will make sure you're aware of it.
Generally this is done with a blocking screen.
So what do you do if you're a victim of a ransomware attack?
The absolute first step is to get the infected system offline and isolated from the rest
of the network.
This can be as basic as just pulling out the cord and powering it down.
If you have other systems on the same network, these need to be isolated as well and after
isolation the systems need to be scanned with an anti-virus before bringing them back online
to ensure they were not subsequently infected.
Now would be a good time to notify your local law enforcement.
In the United States, this would preferably be your local FBI field office.
While they might not be able to assist in recovering your files, it is important to
remember this is a crime and the only way these criminals will potentially be caught
is if law enforcement is aware of them and their crimes.
Assuming you haven't received alternate instructions from law enforcement, you can
now begin scanning and cleaning up your infected system.
First, using a top-tier anti-virus program, from vendors such as Norton or Kaspersky,
scan and disinfect the system.
It will be unlikely that the anti-virus will be able to decrypt the data that was ransomed.
However, you need to ensure the system is no longer infected.
Once this is done, you can begin attempting to decrypt the data.
There is a free service put together by law enforcement and cyber security firms called
No More Ransom.
This is a project with the goal of stopping ransomware attacks, for which I've included
a link in the description below this video.
No More Ransom provides a free service called CryptoSherriff, which reviews a sample of
your encrypted files and then provides additional reference as to how to decrypt the files,
if at all possible.
Now it's important to note that not all ransomware can be decrypted, and this is where
you hear stories about law enforcement recommending to pay the ransom.
It is the recommendation of most cyber security specialists and law enforcement to never pay
the ransom.
There is absolutely no assurance that you will receive the decryption key once payment
is made, and you may further open yourself to additional extortion, as well as reinforcing
that ransomware is a functional business model for cyber criminals.
If you are unable to decrypt the data, it is then time to reload your data from backups.
The inconvenience of restoring data is by far the better decision than opening yourself
up to further attack.

What is Phishing - Duration: 3:23.
Hi, this is Hans-Eirik Hanifl for E-Commerce Gorilla and in this video, we're discussing
what phishing is and how to avoid it.
Phishing is a dragnet style approach to where cyber criminals send out vast amounts of messages,
primarily emails— sometimes other forms of messages, in an attempt to entire the recipient
to either click on links to malware-infected sites, open e-mail attachments containing
malware, or in some cases open a dialogue between the recipient and the scam artist.
If you have an e-mail account, I'm sure you've seen some of the funnier ones, where
an African prince is trying to move millions of dollars out of the country and he needs
your help to accomplish this.
These are relatively easy to spot and once you know about them, they can be rather humorous,
but what about the emails that appear to be more authentic—the ones that could possibly
be true?
These are emails that catch people off guard and generally contain malware to steal your
private information, or try and get you to contact the scam artist.
Sometimes these are fake invoices from FedEx or DHL about a missed delivery, or around
tax season, a dispute in your taxes where if you don't contact them immediately, you're
going to face criminal charges.
These emails can be very convincing at first glance, but generally, if you take a moment
to review them, you'll see the language used doesn't feel quite right and this is
because most of these scams are originating outside the English speaking countries and
are perpetrated by scammers for whom English is a second language.
The links, while appearing authentic, always lead to alternative domains, not the top-tier
domain of the company they are purporting to be.
If you visit one of the sites with malware, it can steal your private data, such as passwords,
PayPal account information, bank logins, which then they can use to siphon off your funds,
and in some cases, initiate a ransomware attack that locks your data up.
A great rule of thumb is never click on a link inside of an email or download an attachment.
Now this can be a very hard rule to follow, especially if you're engaged in business
via email.
In those cases, ensure you have an enterprise anti-virus enabled, and don't screw around
with any of those freeware anti-viruses.
Use established industry leaders, like Norton or Kaspersky.
In the next video of this series, we'll discuss a more sophisticated form of phishing,
known as spear phishing.

All right, Gonzalo.
What's going on, buddy?
How you doing?
- I'm doing great, actually. - What are you up to?
What are you making?
So I'm gonna make my very first Asian cuisine dish, ever.
I've gotta show you guys that if this
is my last time cooking in the kitchen,
that I got many tricks up my sleeve.
So tonight I'm going to make an Asian style fried chicken
thigh, along alongside some carrots
and caramelized peppers and onions.
That's a big risk.
So you're not afraid to take a chance, here.
I've always been labeled as a nerdy kid.
I've always been bullied.
So I definitely need the second chance.
Man, first of all, nerds win at the end of the day.
All right, Gonzalo, good luck.
Hey, Gonzalo, Gonzalo, nerd power.

Carrick Talks Money: Four things millennials need to know about getting started as an investor - Duration: 2:04.
I hear millennials ask me all the time,
what should I buy? Equity funds?
Should I buy bond funds? How much
should I have in the stock market for my
house down payment savings account?
The answer is zero. Do not expose your house
down payment to the stock market.
Stock markets can crash. In 2008 the market
went down about 33 per cent.
You do not need that risk. Instead keep the
money in a in a high interest savings
account. You can earn as much as about
1.5 to 2 per cent. It's not great but it
will keep you just ahead of inflation,
and your money is super safe.
Point two: Make your investing automatic.
Setup electronic transfers from your checking
account to your investment account every
time you get paid. If you leave it up to
yourself, you make it discretionary, you
do you're investing when you feel you
have enough money, you will come up with
excuses and there'll be a good chance
you're going to miss out on a lot of
investments because you just couldn't
find the money. Make it automatic.
The money comes off the top when you're paid
and you'll never think about it.
Point three: Make it low cost. I like low-cost
index mutual funds, the TD e-Series are
particularly good for low-cost. Also,
exchange-traded funds are very low cost.
You know, the more you pay in fees on
your investments, the less you get to
keep for yourself, so it makes perfect
sense to go for a low cost situation.
If you use ETFs you want to find an online
broker that charges little or no
commissions for ETFs. A few exist: Virtual Brokers,
Questrade are two brokers who do not
commissions for buying ETFs.
That makes ETFs very economical for the
young investor. Fourth point: Try a robo adviser.
Robo advisers manage your money
for you for a very low cost online.
Be honest with yourself. If you don't have
the time, the knowledge and let's face it
the inclination or interest to manage
your own money, a robo adviser is a super
solution for keeping you invested in a
sensible, sound way.

What is AESA and PESA Radar and difference between a PESA and an AESA radar? - Duration: 10:01.
Welcome to WARN, Today we discuss.
What is AESA and PESA Radar and difference between a PESA and an AESA radar?
Both AESA and PESA radars are (generally) pulsed radars.
AESA as well as modern PESA both are frequency agile and can frequency hop over different
frequencies at different times.
Both can have narrowband or wideband mode, and both can be used for ECM, passive scanning,
beam-forming, etc.
The primary difference is in the source of the high-power RF signal.
How is a radar pulse formed?
A digital pulse command is created by the radar computers which tell it to send a pulse
out in some direction.
The receiver/exciter (REX) creates the baseband pulse, which is really just a square wave,
which is used to modulate the Intermediate Frequency (IF).
Signal processing is applied to the IF pulse to compress it, shape it into efficient Gaussian
forms, etc.
Then the IF pulse is used to modulate an oscillator that is operating at the final RF frequency.
This refers to the final up-converted frequency that will be used for transmission over the
air.
This modulated RF signal goes through high power amplification and is sent to the antenna
for transmission.
It is only this last step, the high-power RF generation/amplification that differs between
AESA and PESA.
In PESA, there is a single high-power transmitter source, often an older device like a Klystron
or a Traveling-wave tube.
These devices can amplify RF signals at microwave frequencies up to very high powers and then
there is a single antenna horn radiating the signal out.
After the signal is radiated there is an RF �lens�.
An RF �lens� is an array of thousands elements that can selectively delay a portion
of the RF signal.
So by delaying the radiated RF signal in a particular shape, beam shapes can be formed
that allow the beam to be steered or spoiled to serve specific purposes.
In AESA, the thousands of phase-shifting elements are also themselves transmitters and antennas.
The IF signal from the REX is fed to each of the AESA elements, along with a digital
�command� which tells the element how to delay the signal to form a particular beam.
The individual element does the RF up-conversion and power amplification, along with phase
shifting in order to form and steer a beam.
Each radiating module is much less powerful than the Klystron or the TWT, but the sum
of all of the AESA elements allows for high total power levels.
Contrary to other answers posted here, the difference in capability between AESA and
PESA is less than you might think.
Both AESA and PESA can be low probability of intercept (LPI).
Being LPI isn�t determined by anything special the modules are doing.
It�s just due to the fact that you can change your frequency with every dwell, so that over
time the average power level on any particular frequency channel is kept very low.
Both AESA and PESA can do this.
It�s more typical to do this on AESA because the oscillators and tuned amplifiers are more
modern solid-state devices, but you can do the same thing with modern PESA as well.
Also, the suggestion that you can change the frequency with every single pulse is true,
but not very practical.
Few radars do that.
Unless the radar is looking up at the sky, a radar signal will be contaminated with clutter
(energy returns from other objects in the scene).
Typically this clutter is not moving, so Doppler processing is used to separate out the clutter
from the moving signals.
This is particularly important with ships doing horizon search or with airplanes that
are looking downwards (strong ground return).
In order to do Doppler processing, you must send out a series of pulses all at the same
RF carrier frequency.
This �dwell� may last up to several milliseconds until the required number of pulses is received,
and then the radar can switch to a new frequency for the next dwell.
Different methods and waveforms can be used if an airplane is trying to be stealthy, but
radar situational awareness is also minimized in those circumstances.
Both AESA and PESA can utilize large bandwidths for a single pulse.
�Wideband� modes are typically created with separate hardware paths in the system
that utilize more advanced wideband modules that are linear over a much larger range of
frequencies.
Wideband pulses can be compressed hundreds of times tighter than narrowband pulses allowing
extremely detailed range resolution.
This feature is generated by the REX at the IF and then is up-converted to RF by either
an AESA or a PESA transmitter.
Both AESA and PESA can be electronically steered so that a �flat panel� antenna can have
a wide viewing angle.
These antennas can only be steered so far, though.
After a certain point, the phase shifting is no longer practical to form a coherent
beam.
So on ships, for example, you�ll see 3 or 4 faces of flat panel antennas around the
ship.
Of course an antenna can receive energy from any direction, but the mainlobe of the antenna
can only be steered to within moderate limits and the mainlobe is what you want for directional
reception.
Energy received through sidelobes will be significantly reduced in power, and you won�t
be able to determine what direction it is being received from, so very rarely is sidelobe
energy used for target detection.
Sometimes, special sidelobe pointing is used to cancel sidelobe interference out of the
mainlobe.
Both AESA and PESA can do jamming detection, ECM, and passive scanning.
All you need to do is turn on the receiver and don�t send pulses out.
The PESA array can be steered and formed just like the AESA array.
Special signal processing once you get back into the digital electronics gives you the
real advantage in terms of doing advanced jamming detection.
Both AESA and PESA can track multiple targets the same time.
Sometimes hundreds.
The list goes on.
AESA does have the ability to form multiple beams at different frequencies at the same
time, but this is less common.
If you are splitting up your beam into a beam for Freq-A and a beam for Freq-B, then each
beam is now half as powerful and will get you (1/2)1/4=84(1/2)1/4=84 of the range you
would get if you were using the full array.
Divide that into 4 sub-beams and now you�re down to 70% of your maximum range.
You also lose monopulse processing which allows you to fine tune your angle measurement.
Without monopulse, your angle measurement is only going to be as accurate as your beam
width, and now with only half of an array, your beam just got wider.
You typically don�t need this feature where you do two frequencies at the same time, because
the radars are pulsed.
Radars are emitting thousands of pulses per second.
And after each dwell, you reset to a new target, re-steer the beam, and then send more pulses.
Both AESA and PESA can track hundreds of targets at the same time.
The primary advantage of AESA is logistics and SWAP (size, weight, power).
With a PESA, you have a single high-power amplifier like the Klystron or TWT.
These are older devices, require extensive cooling, and very prone to breakdowns.
And when your single source of RF amplification goes down, your whole radar goes down and
you are blind.
They are expensive, fragile, and a single point of failure.
With AESA, your �high-power� amplification is now split up between thousands of solid-state
devices.
Several of these AESA elements can fail, and the overall AESA performance will be essentially
unchanged.
The modules are circuit cards that can be manufactured much more easily, and technicians
can easily switch modules in and out.
With PESA, you require a precision set of waveguides in order to get the high power
signal from the common amplification source to all of the phase shifters.
This ultimately makes the radar larger, it has special space constraints, it is heavier,
and it is more difficult to manufacture.
AESA radars only require a flat panel with all of the elements installed.
Think of it as a frame with a bunch of circuit cards plugged in.
The panel can be separated from the REX and connected only with cables allowing it to
be more easily integrated onto different platforms.
AESA also allows the use of solid state devices for RF generation and amplification.
Single solid-state devices were never capable of generating the power needed at a single
source for a PESA radar.
But when split up over thousands of elements, now you can use solid-state, and you end up
getting much better radar efficiency, and can take advantage of modern solid-state advances
in silicon technology.

What is Ransomware - Duration: 2:22.
Hi, this is Hans-Eirik Hanifl for E-Commerce Gorilla and in this video, we're going to
be discussing ransomware and what you need to know about it.
So what is ransomware?
It's a term used to describe a growing group of malware scripts, which deny you access
to your computer or system by encrypting the data held there.
The malware then holds the key to decrypt that data hostage until a ransom is paid,
either in cash or crypto-currency, such as bitcoin.
Generally these scripts, once locking you out of the system, threaten to delete the
data or permanently prevent access to the data if the ransom is unpaid in a short period
of time.
Once the computer is infected, ransomware will generally try to infect other systems
on the same network.
Ransomware has been around for well over a decade, but it was mainly limited to Europe.
However, in the last couple of years, it has been making itself prevalent in the United
States.
There are dozens of distinct variations of ransomware, but some of the most prevalent
in the U.S. have been CryptoWall, TeslaCrypt, and Locky.
While most ransomware targets Windows systems and specific server types, there are also
ransomware variants for Android, iOS and Linux.
Although there is a large range in ransom demands, the average is between three hundred
and a thousand dollars.
This amount is generally selected because it's an easy amount for most individuals
to pay, or businesses.
But, there has been specific institutions that have been targeted in the millions.
In our next video, we are going to be going over how you, as an individual or business
owner, can avoid being infected by ransomware.
Then, in the last video, we'll be covering what to do if you do get infected.
Thank you for watching.
Please make sure you subscribe to the channel and if you liked this video, give us a thumbs
up.
This is Hans-Eirik Hanifl for E-Commerce Gorilla and we'll see you next time.
