A warm welcome to Jag Sharma.<\/p>\n<p>To kick off the conversation, we revisit the topic of REvil \u2014 again. This week, we look at the FBI\u2019s infiltration of the ransomware gang and how the new approach differs from the usual. Although of course we discuss the news, we also debate the merits of the live-blogging the gang has been doing as well. From there, Jag gets his indoctrination by fire in one of Ahmed\u2019s famous quizzes.<\/p>\n<p>Moving along, we discuss the need to secure space\u2019s infrastructure. If everyone\u2019s heading that way anyway, best to make it safe. Our third story takes a look at the <em>Squid Game<\/em> phenomenon and the rise of Joker-infested unofficial apps on the Play Store.<\/p>\n<p>The podcast closes with a story of how AI and a T-shirt led to a man getting a ticket for his automobile. No, you didn\u2019t read that wrong \u2013 the AI really thought a woman\u2019s T-shirt was a license plate.
