The Ransomware Hunting Team

An unheralded group of a dozen people in the U.S. and Europe have become the world’s most effective defense against the growing threat of ransomware. Some of them don’t have college or even high school degrees, and come from backgrounds of poverty and abuse. Yet, through their tireless codebreaking, they have saved millions of people and organizations from paying billions of dollars in ransom, without charging a penny. Join ProPublica investigative journalists Renee Dudley and Daniel Golden to hear about their new book The Ransomware Hunting Team: A Band of Misfits’ Improbable Crusade to Save the World from Cybercrime, which has been hailed by the New York Times as “brilliant.”
