This week on Hacker And The Fed we dive into the world of ransomware. An insider exploits a ransomware attack for personal gain and a CISO's biggest lessons from quarterbacking a ransomware attack. We discuss AI generated photos and what happened to the stock market. And then we answer listener questions about geopolitics, Hector's hack on the Indonesian government and victims keeping their hacks a secret.
