Researcher Spotlight: Globetrotting with Yuri Kramarz

Summary: Cisco Talos published a researcher spotlight on Yuri "Jerzy" Kramarz, a senior incident response consultant with Cisco Talos Incident Response based in Qatar, who is focused on preparing local entities for the World Cup starting in November. Qatar estimates more than 1.7 million visitors will arrive for the tournament, averaging 500,000 per day at stadiums and event venues, against a current population the World Bank puts at 2.9 million.

Key Takeaway: A host country expecting roughly 1.7 million visitors on top of a 2.9 million population is expanding the networks and hospitality systems that bad actors, in Kramarz's words, may target to make a statement or make money off ransomware.
