Description

In this week’s Cyber Security Brief podcast, Brigid O Gorman and Dick O’Brien discuss some of the activity we saw in Ukraine prior to the escalation of the last couple of days. We also heavily cover ransomware in this podcast, including discussing a recent FBI alert about the BlackByte ransomware, and a possible decryptor for the Hive ransomware, as well as some research into how long ransomware gangs are remaining active for these days and the amount of money they are making. Finally, we also discuss how BEC scammers are leveraging virtual meeting platforms in their attacks.
