WannaCry and NotPetya aftermath means payouts and panic. Here are the top security headlines for the week of August 7, 2017:

• Big money, no whammies! It seems like the hackers behind WannaCry have cashed out their bitcoin into Monero, a harder to track cryptocurrency.
• Mo money means mo malware. The success – can we call it that? – of WannaCry and NotPetya means ransomware is not going away any time soon, because… well, people and businesses pay the ransom.
• What’s that definition of insanity? Oh yeah, doing the same thing and expecting a different result… Tripwire research indicates that two-thirds of security pros don’t think their organization has made the necessary improvements since this summer’s ransomware attacks.  
• Your route has been hacked. Governments around the world are investing in technology to update their GPS software following vulnerability reports . 
• Simply adding stickers to stop signs fooled 67-100% of self-driving cars . I hope there’s an update for that.
• One phish, two phish, red phish, spearphish. With 269 billion emails sent and received each day by the end of 2017, phishing is a top threat to organizations . From there to here, from here to there, phishing emails are everywhere.
