Peter House from Deep Tree talks with Mike Chmielewski about current cybersecurity threats.

The good news is that ransomware events are down in the first half of the year in Alaska, however attacks expected to increase later in the year. Mike asked about the news from Mexico that there were 40.6 billion attacks in the first half of 2025. Peter explained that while the number seems extremely large, it is due to an automated system attack. Mike and Peter also discussed e-SIM cards, which people are using for travel, and how safe they really are.
