The conversation discusses a recent cybersecurity attack on Evolve Bank, which was initially mistaken for an attack on the Federal Reserve. The hackers, known as Lockbit, threatened to release sensitive information unless a ransom was paid. However, it was later revealed that the Federal Reserve was not hacked, and it was actually Evolve Bank that fell victim to the attack. The conversation also touches on the importance of strong cybersecurity practices for financial institutions and the role of ransomware negotiators.
