Most Ransomware Isn’t As Complex As You Might Think – Black Hat 2015 Lastline, Inc.
Ransomware has been widely touted as a highly-dangerous, sophisticated and destructive breed of malware – but according to recent research into the constraints, commonalities and advancements across 15 ransomware families – most ransomware today is actually more of a blunt instrument than a surgical tool in exploit kits. While certainly even simple programs can extort innocent people who aren’t able to separate real from fake cyber threats, the vast majority of the ransomware in the wild today is not necessarily as sophisticated or scary as it’s been made out to be. The real impact on victims who don't pay is typically still both reversible and preventable.
Join as we explore the history of graphic design. From 10,000 BC to the work of Saul Bass – we will uncover today's modern conception of “design” and how creative minds are building meaningful brands.

First graphic design school, was
first founded by Walter Gropius
1919, in Weimar, Germany.
Graphic design firms sprang up in
response to the increased demand for
artistic layout of ads and print
materials. The first graphic design
school, Bauhaus, was founded in
1919 in Germany, and was quickly
followed by graphic design schools
around the world. In the 1950s, logo
design became a big deal, as
branding through a logo gained
popularity. This began a subset of
graphic design
known as “corporate identity”.

The 1936 Turing machine was first
proposed by Alan Turing in 1936
and became the foundation for
theories about computing and
computers. The machine was a
device that printed symbols on
paper tape in a manner that
emulated a person following a
series of logical instructions.
Without these fundamentals, we
wouldn't have the computers we
use today.
Alan Turing
“The New
Typography”
He pioneered production techniques
and stylistic devices used throughout
the twentieth century. Influenced by
the new Bauhaus typography, Jan
Tschichold began to use serifless
typefaces and designed simplified
layouts. In a special 1925 issue of
“typographische mitteilungen” entitled
“elementare typographie”, introduced
in the form of theses the most
important approaches to the new
typography design.
