Genial, earnest and still fit from his wrestling days, Neino is the son of a Jordanian immigrant father and a Mexican American mother from Montebello. The reason is that revenge hackers commonly target cybersecurity companies. It does no marketing, employs no sales force and its workers guard their anonymity. Until May, Kryptos was just another little-known boutique cybersecurity company operating, as much as possible, "in stealth mode," Neino said. With WannaCry, and the June 27 reprise of it, the world got off easy, he insisted: "They had the bomb, they didn't have the GPS." Testifying before Congress between attacks, Neino spelled out his proposal for a cybersecurity "Richter scale" - a triage system to help the public prioritize threats - and warned lawmakers against underrating the peril. But he has also tried to use this status as ransomware wrangler to push for policy changes - measures he says are needed to cope with this new landscape of cybermayhem. ![]() Neino has been quick to capitalize on the business opportunities from his new prominence. At the same time, it has opened a new era of broad-scale ransomware attacks - a fact driven home last week when a second worm, exploiting the same methods as WannaCry, briefly seized computers worldwide again, this time hitting oil, electric and shipping operations. The mid-May episode thrust the small Los Angeles cybersecurity company onto a world stage. Not bad for a 33-year-old Lawndale native and Cal State Long Beach grad, who co-founded Kryptos eight years ago with $120,000. "We put it in a triangle choke!" joked Neino, a mixed-martial-arts fan. One of his researchers found a so-called kill switch in the WannaCry code and pounced. (For the more complicated explanation, you can read Wikipedia).Fast, indiscriminate and disruptive, the computer infection locked up computers in British hospitals and was spreading across the world when Neino's company, Kryptos Logic, stepped into the ring. I didn’t realize that there is a huge difference (in price and taste) between the 100% Agave tequila and the mixed or 50% agave tequila which has other flavors and mixes added. The ‘silver’ or white tequila is usually not aged as long but bottled almost immediately after distilling. The aging process is what gives it the golden color. Then the liquor is distilled two or three more times and aged in oak barrels. Tequila is produced in much the same way as the Mezcal with the ‘piña’ cut out and cooked, then crushed and the liquid fermented. There is a distinct difference between the Tequila from the higher mountain areas of Jalisco and the Blue agave grown as lowland varieties. ![]() A few other states in the western mountains of Mexico are also permitted to produce tequila but it is carefully regulated and taxed by the government. Now tequila, on the other hand, is only made from the Blue Agave in the state of Jalisco. ![]() The second taste, from a cheaper bottle, was bitter, scratchy and a little hard to choke down. ![]() It was smooth, a little smoky, felt like it almost had rounded edges, and went down far too easily. The first taste was from a bottle that probably went for $50 or $60 bucks. When Eduardo offered me a taste of Reposado Mezcal (I wish I could remember the name of the brands – I’d call and ask but it is just past 4 am and he might not appreciate being awakened). ![]()
