Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Exposing the Ransomware Crisis (feat. Anja Shortland)
Q: How does cyber insurance fit into the ransomware problem, and is it helping or making things worse?
Cyber insurance can provide a governance layer by coordinating a crisis response and reducing losses, but early on insurers often worsened outcomes by underestimating the full scope of the incident; over time the industry has evolved to offer structured response and guidance that can contain damage, though incentives remain complex.
Exposing the Ransomware Crisis (feat. Anja Shortland)
Q: How would you explain ransomware to someone in plain English?
Ransomware is a business model where attackers compromise a system, steal or exfiltrate data, then encrypt the victim's files and demand payment for a decryptor, while sometimes threatening to leak sensitive information if the ransom isn't paid.
The Godfather of Scambaiting: Inside the War on Scammers
Q: Are you more scared now, or were you more scared before of your real identity being exposed?
I probably was more scared then. Now, it doesn't matter to me quite as much.
The Godfather of Scambaiting: Inside the War on Scammers
Q: What's one thing that you think people should know about scams that doesn't get talked about enough?
If there's something about the conversation you're having that doesn't make sense, ask questions.
The Godfather of Scambaiting: Inside the War on Scammers
Q: Do you think it will be effective if we set that up as a full-time thing that the government maybe could run?
I would love the People's Call Center to be set up 24 by 7, run by people who enjoy winding up scammers.
