Allan Liska on why it’s time to ban ransomware payments; Russian info ops

  • Summary

  • We are living through an epidemic of ransomware. Last year alone, the amount paid to ransomware operators exceeded $1 billion, and the entities getting hit and seeing their operations disrupted by ransomware included hospitals, schools and libraries. Ransomware is both a public-health and national-security crisis, yet efforts to address the problem are not making a dent. Allan Liska is a senior intelligence analyst at Recorded Future and a leading analyst of the ransomware phenomenon, and on this episode of Safe Mode he sits down with host Elias Groll to discuss why it’s long past time to ban ransomware payments. CyberScoop reporter Derek Johnson also joins the show to discuss the U.S. intelligence community’s observations of information operations targeting the 2024 election.
