The Dilemma.
the scenario.
We’re in a bit of a pickle.
The CEO of Foogle (definitely not Google) has been hit with a ransomware attack. Uh-oh!
The CEO has done some investigation already but seems to have given up and gone into hiding, so you've been left in charge of sorting this thing out. The only things left behind were a locked briefcase, phone, wallet and a notebook.
You have one hour before the attacker releases our sensitive information to Rupert Murdoch and his cronies, damaging our reputation with clients beyond repair. Good luck!
