In-depth look at the ransomware attack on Ireland’s national health service, as major meat producer JBS also hit with ransomware
On this week’s Cyber Security Brief podcast, Dick O’Brien and Brigid O’Gorman are joined by Symantec threat researcher Gavin O’Gorman to discuss the Conti ransomware attack on Ireland’s national health service, how the response to this attack is going, and what the likely consequences of it may be. Elsewhere, another ransomware attack, this time on the world’s largest meat producer, JBS Foods, and Sweden’s Public Health Agency is also hit with some hack attempts. Meanwhile, the alleged leader of an ATM fraud gang responsible for stealing more than $1 billion from tourists, is arrested in Mexico.
