The Security box, podcast 206: EDR Kill Shifter

The technology blog and podcast and TSB

Hello, welcome to program number 206. We've got tons of questions that could lead our news discussion, we've got an interesting discussion on a type of malware that could be disruptive and Antivirus may not help and more. Here are the questions.

• What happens when someone decides to be a complete moron? We talk about it, and this story is just out of this world. Who was it, what did they do, and how much trouble will he be in?
• Next, what happened to a telecom company who also did moronic things who also deserves our moron of the podcast?
• What type of technique has been around since 2017 and is now being used for delivering something we've been talking about for a number of years now?
• Who in Russia recently got arrested because he stole from a certain ransomware group? Name the group, and while we don't know the suspect, name him by the initials given within the article.
• Speaking of arrests, which new ransomeware group which was once known as Conti had a member arrested? What was his position? What is his fine as a minimum and what might his prison sentence as a minimum according to the article be?
• What type of malware is now going to break records if last year's number was 1.1 billion dollars alone? What was it that I thought could be the number for this year based on last year's number and what was the percentage?
• Finally for our topic, what new ransomware might we be talking about this time, that kills a certain type of antivirus protection?

I hope that you enjoy the program as much as we are bringing it together. Thanks for listening and make it a great day!

Our complete morons of the podcast

Get a load of this for our first moron. This guy's name is Jesse Kipf and he's got a wrapsheet. Man sentenced for hacking registry to fake his own death is the first blog post and it did get a comment from Shaun. But that wasn't all. Once I went on Ars Technica, I found We’ve got more on the dad who refused to pay child support which I blogged after reading the story. On page 2 of the story, it talks about the wrapsheet he's going to face. Speaking of facing wrapsheets, Karakurt negociater arrested, sent to U.S. could be talked about because of that potential sentencing for the suspect, but we'll have to see about that. Speaking of morons, Telecommunications company to pay 1 million dollars should be read if you haven't read it already. We even found >Here’s more on the lingo telecom fiasco which has an update.
