Okay, listen up. Great. Another birthday speech. We have a meeting with Gabriela in the conference room right now we are at DEFCON 1.5. That's weirdly precise. Yeah, I didn't know they did half DEFCONs. Gabriela was an exec at Principal Group when they merged with Principled Investments. Now that we're Principled Principal Investment Group, she's our CISO. I think Spence is afraid of her. In the meeting. Cam. Yay. Oh wait... Blu. That's it. What about Aidan? Don't need him. I'm the security admin. Don't trust him. Don't want him. I never thought I'd say this, but we need Aidan with us. Fine . Captain? Not you, Major. Tom. We'll send you the Cliffs Notes. The gang's all here. Good. Hi Gabriela. How are you? Not as good as I was half an hour ago, Spence. How about you? Oh, you know, usual ups and downs... Well, today is a big downer. Who are you? Prince? Leave me alone. Gab-- --Briela. Briella. Uh, who is that with you? I don't think we've had the pleasure. This is Diana. PPIG's new cloud architect. Hi. Lady Diana! Enchanted. I'm Spence. May I-- We don't have time for that, Spence. We need to know what's going on. Hey guys. Sorry I'm late. I was in a meeting. I've got another one right now, but I can be a few minutes late. What's up? Jack, you old dog! How's the putter? Balls still dropping? Not bad. Heard you guys had a little problem over there? Not so little. We might have a ransomware attack. Confirmed. We just heard from the perpetrators. They want half a mil in crypto or they say they'll flush it all. Oh my God. Why didn't you say that in the first place, Spence! I didn't want to be rude to Diana. Do we know where it came from? Almost. We know it was an email sent through one of our mail clients, anyway. We're still piecing together all the deets. What was the email? It doesn't really matter. What are you talking about? Uh, I just mean that we are fully focused on remediation right now. That makes zero sense. That's like saying you don't wanna look for the tumor because you want to get started with the operation. Speaking of email, Spence, did you forward something to me? No. Is it related to the attack? Looks like an e-card? No! Totally different! Fully resolved! Delete,If it's a forwarded link, you might not wanna click on it. Oh God. Delete it immediately! Oh my gosh. I think I might have been spoofed by an inappropriate birthday card. How do you know it's a birthday card? Like I said, Diana, we're still piecing together all the details. This is insane. You are the Director of IT. Did you even take your own security training? No... yes! Did you pass it? You know, Jack just clicked on it. What? No, I'm just saying that, uh, the CIO just clicked on it. Could happen to anyone, right? Not really. I mean... Jack... All right. Enough with the finger pointing. Spence, we want Diana on the ground there this week. Diana, why? This isn't a cloud issue. Most of our systems are on-prem. We issued a cloud first mandate in January! Company-wide. And we moved some data into the cloud. I think. And some is still on-prem. You just said most on-prem. To be frank, we don't really know where much of our data is. Cam is that right? Uh, let's just say that, uh, identifying and isolating data can be a challenge. Mostly we're architecting the migration cloud, um, strategy. You know, , we are laser focused on integration with PPIG and you know, um, that, all that stuff. Diana? Okay, I'm landing at 10:45 tomorrow. Should be there by lunch. Jack, when can you regroup with the team? Don't know. For some reason I can't open my calendar. Jack! How many PPIG files do you have direct access to? All of 'em. I'm the damn CIO. My calendar won't load either. What are you guys doing now? We've got an emergency update for the virus scanner that should stop the spread of the malware. Blaize said that the backup tapes are on their way, but it could take two or three days to recover the data. Spence asked me to put in a call to NetApp.That's a storage company. It's a data management company. More of a hybrid and multicloud data storage and services company. I think. Might not be a bad start. I gotta jump to my other call. Sorry. Totally fine. Jack. I think we're done here. Okay. Guess I better go call that guy.
