39 - REvil: A suspiciously wonderful outcome.

We're back from our long holiday break with some exciting news about 2020's most notorious ransomware gang: REvil.  X-Force, IBM's threat intelligence offering, reports that 36% of REvil's victims paid their ransom and at least 12% of victims watched as their sensitive stolen data was auctioned off to the highest bidders on the dark web between 2019 and 2020.  REvil's back in the headlines, but this time the story is a little different.  After a string of law enforcement activity that pushed the gang further into obscurity, the nations of Russia and the United States have held hands to bring the ransomware group to justice.  It's a story almost too good to be true.  Listen in as Nate and Joshua discuss the wild variance in numbers reported by differing news outlets, as they put on their tinfoil hats, and hear a word straight from the old timey prospector himself.
