Great production but background music is too loud sometimes.
This is really a fantastic podcast with details into the different aspects and impacts of Ransomware attacks. Jeremy’s writing and insight into asking the right questions makes this security podcast perfect for all levels of computer security personnel. Great for CISO to front line employees. These stories should help all companies understand aspects of Ransomware attacks and different things they can do to fight back.
Excellent podcast about not just ransomware, but crackers, black hat hacker's, the art of it all, reverse engineering and stories as well as history, not just technical stuff. Very entertaining and written so you don't have to be a hacker or even power user to get the gist of the stories.
As a technology professional who has worked in security engineering I find a lot of online doom & gloom, and hard-edged cynicism.
This was a story about humans, about what had gone wrong.
It has enough technical focus that I know the facts & can asses accuracy; but hearing about the real world detail is what makes it riveting.
Definitely worth a listen.
A must-listen podcast if you are interested in cyber security and ransomwares.
