Summary
Will a crowdsourced ransom payments tracking website called Ransomwhe.re provide empirical evidence companies need to determine if paying ransomware is beneficial? Plus we examine the impact of PhD students Rodrigo Ochigame and Katherine Ye Search Atlas, a project that displays results from different geographic versions of Google Search, and can change how people understand events. And has Disney’s “Black Widow” movie helped re-energize the movie theaters or did it just give people another reason to stay home and stream.
Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Charlotte Henry, Roger Chang, Joe.
