The Delhi Police had a bigger problem at hand. They were in possession of an email that read, "What happened? Your files are encrypted? What is the price to repair? The price depends on how fast you can pay to us," reported news sources.

How to use SSH for secure connections in macOS
Apple's macOS, being a full UNIX system, has full support for PKI built-in. It uses OpenSSH - which is part of the OpenBSD project. Setting up your own PKI key pair is fairly easy in macOS. Once your keys are installed on your Mac, you'll rarely need to access them directly - they will mostly be used by applications in the background silently.
In macOS, SSH keys live in each user's folder, in a hidden folder called .ssh. This folder is normally hidden (for security reasons) unless you show invisible files in the Finder. If you haven't yet generated your PKI keys, this folder probably won't exist - it gets created by the system when you generate the keys.
There are two easy ways to generate a PKI key pair in macOS. Either the Terminal, or a third-party keychain app such as GPGTools can be used.

Oracle & Kubernetes: Multi-Cloud is easier with Open Cloud Native

More were the compelling topics I could have discussed about but the most demanding one was for Oracle Cloud Native Environment.
After the announcement of the new Oracle Cloud Native Environment 1.5.7 release, in this quick and coincise recording I share all the advatanges of an open-source solution, like Oracle Cloud Native Environment, mostly while the support for the same is included in the same Oracle Linux Premier Support subscription.
