Criminal Mouthpiece
Really confused why this podcast, which up to this point was somewhat informative, but lacking depth or context, would decide to start publish unvarnished propaganda from one of the worst criminal networks in the world. They allow this guy, who started an online site that allows anyone to hold people, businesses, and governments for ransom, to paint himself as some sort of hero, Robin Hood type. Lionizing criminal gangs, especially one as dangerous as this one, is just disgusting.
A surprise, every time
The word “cybersecurity” may not sparkle with intrigue and interest for you, but trust me, this excellent podcast - which focuses on cyber espionage, misinformation, ransomware, and related issues - never fails to amaze. Temple-Raston is a superb journalist and host, with a voice pitched to soothe despite the scary stories she investigates. Great show. I look forward every week.
