This week on the Kaspersky Transatlantic Cable<\/em> podcast<\/a>, Ahmed, Dave, and I kick things off with some ransomware. No, it is not another company getting hit, but rather some good news.<\/p>\n

In this post from Graham Cluely, victims of REvil ransomware attacks may find some relief \u2014 in the form of a universal decryptor for the ransomware. Some victims can breathe a sigh of relief. \u00a0From there, we jump to a tale involving unlocking AT&T cellular phones. It might seem like a weird news item, but this isn\u2019t a story about unlocking a phone for use on any network; it\u2019s about defrauding a company of more than $200 million.<\/p>\n

After a brief quiz that leaves Dave and me stumped, we jump into a conversation about Amazon and the controversial AI in its delivery vehicles.<\/p>\n

To close things out, we revisit our discussion of El Salvador\u2019s move to roll out Bitcoin as an official currency. Sadly, a lot of our trollish predictions did come true.<\/p>\n
