Greg Otto talks with Jackie Burns-Koven, Head of Cyber Threat Intelligence at Chainalysis. They discuss research from Chainalysis that shows a 35% drop in ransom payments over the second half of 2024. They also discuss the growing refusal of victims to pay ransoms and how attackers are adapting their tactics. Additionally, she highlights the influence of Ransomware-as-a-Service, the evolution of data leak sites, and the effectiveness of international collaboration in combating these cyber threats.

In our reporter chat, Greg talks with Tim Starks about the Trump administration’s nominee for national cyber director.

Egy vállalat vagy intézmény működésére nézve az egyik legveszélyesebb kibertámadás a zsarolóvírusok bejuttatása a rendszerbe. Aki átélt már belülről ilyen támadást, valószínűleg soha nem fogja elfelejteni, és reménykedik, hogy még egyszer nem fog hasonló előfordulni.

De mikor és kiket érnek jellemzően ilyen támadások, és ami a legfontosabb, ha beütött a krach, mit lehet és mit kötelező, illetve mit nem szabad tenni? Szabad-e például fizetni a zsarolóknak? Kell-e a helyreállítás után képezni a kollégákat és IT-biztonsági beruházásokra, auditokra ösztökélni a menedzsmentet?

Erről beszélgettünk az 58. Weeklyben Szigeti Zsolttal, az Islander Cyber Security alapítójával és Hentes Sándorral, a RavenForTech lead technology specialist-jével.

Larry June - $ The Reason Prod By Diez Le Pro

Ransom Ft. Conway The Machine - Flawless (Prod. Diez Le Pro)

Hailing from Detroit’s 8 Mile and Gratiot area, theluckyleft is a boundary-pushing producer, remixer, DJ, and beatmaker whose sound blends soul, hip-hop, house, R&B, and future funk into one seamless, genre-fluid experience.

Detroit raised him—crate-digging through dusty vinyl, soaking up game at local record shops, and crossing paths early on with hometown legends like J Dilla, HouseShoes, Black Milk, Elzhi, Mr. Porter, Guilty Simpson, Dwele, and Fat Ray. His time at Vintage King Audio sharpened his ear and deepened his appreciation for the art of sound.

Now based in Florida, that heat and sunshine have added warmth and color to his sonic palette. What began with raw hip-hop has evolved into something richer—lush chords, soulful grooves, ambient textures, and emotion you can feel in your chest. His tracks move bodies and stir minds, built on feel, flavor, and fearless experimentation.

With a style that lives between a dusty MPC and a velvet stage, theluckyleft creates sonic journeys for both headphones and hardwood floors. He’s especially drawn to working with artists who blur genre lines and bring real musicality to the table—think Anderson .Paak, Lucky Daye, and others who push the edges while keeping the soul intact.

This isn’t just production—it’s storytelling through sound.
