Ransomware isn't a lone hacker in a hoodie. It's an entire criminal industry complete with developers, brokers, and money launderers working together like a dark tech startup. And while these groups constantly evolve, so do the tools and partnerships aimed at stopping them before they strike. My guest today is Cynthia Kaiser, former Deputy Assistant Director of the FBI's Cyber Division and now the Head of the Ransomware Research Center at Halcyon. After two decades investigating global cyber threats and briefing top government leaders, she's now focused on prevention and building collaborations across government and industry to disrupt ransomware actors at their source. We talk about how ransomware groups operate, why paying a ransom rarely solves the problem, and what layered defense really means for organizations and individuals. Cynthia also shares how AI is reshaping both sides of the cyber arms race and why she believes hope, not fear, is the most powerful tool for defenders. Show Notes: [01:04] Cynthia Kaiser had a 20-year FBI career and has now transitioned from investigation to prevention at Halcyon. [03:58] The true scale of cyber threats is far larger than most people realize, even within the government. [04:19] Nation-state and criminal activity now overlap, making attribution increasingly difficult. [06:45] Cynthia outlines how ransomware spreads through phishing, credential theft, and unpatched systems. [08:08] Ransomware is an ecosystem of specialists including developers, access brokers, money launderers, and infrastructure providers. [09:55] Discussion of how many ransomware groups exist and the estimated cost of attacks worldwide. [11:37] Ransom payments dropped in 2023, but total business recovery costs remain enormous. [12:24] Paying a ransom can mark a company as an easy target and doesn't guarantee full decryption. [13:11] Example of a decryptor that failed completely and how Halcyon helped a victim recover. [14:35] The so-called "criminal code of ethics" among ransomware gangs has largely disappeared. [16:48] Hospitals continue to be targeted despite claims of moral restraint among attackers. [18:44] Prevention basics still matter including strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, and timely patching. [19:18] Cynthia explains the value of layered defense and incident-response practice drills. [21:22] Even individuals need cyber hygiene like unique passwords, MFA, and updated antivirus protection. [23:32] Deepfakes are becoming a major threat vector, blurring trust in voice and video communications. [25:17] Always verify using a separate communication channel when asked to send money or change payment info. [27:40] Real-world example: credential-stuffing attack against MLB highlights the need for two-factor authentication. [29:55] What to do once ransomware hits includes containment, external counsel, and calling trusted law-enforcement contacts. [32:44] Cynthia recounts being impersonated online and how she responded to protect others from fraud. [34:28] Many victims feel ashamed to report cybercrime, especially among older adults. [36:45] Scams often succeed because they align with real-life timing or emotional triggers. [38:32] Children and everyday users are also at risk from deceptive links and push-fatigue attacks. [39:26] Overview of Halcyon's Ransomware Research Center and its educational, collaborative goals. [42:15] The importance of public-private partnerships in defending hospitals and critical infrastructure. [43:38] How AI-driven behavioral detection gives defenders a new advantage. [44:48] Cynthia shares optimism that technology can reduce ransomware's impact. [45:43] Closing advice includes practicing backups, building layered defenses, and staying hopeful.

Quizás el título podría ser menos duro, algo así como “marcas que PUEDEN desaparecer...y A LO PEOR es que se lo merecen”. Porque en la jungla del automóvil, la historia no te salva. Algunas marcas, por sus errores, su soberbia o su incapacidad para ver el futuro, parece que están cavando su propia tumba. Y hoy te vamos a decir cuáles y por qué… y esperamos equivocarnos. 1. Aston Martin. Propietario: Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings plc (Consorcio de inversores). País: Reino Unido. ¿Por qué se lo merece? Porque parece que no aprende. Ha sido rescatada una y otra vez por inversores que se enamoran del nombre, pero la gestión sigue siendo un pozo sin fondo. Queman dinero a un ritmo alarmante, la deuda es gigantesca y su plan de electrificación ha sido errático. 2. Chrysler. Propietario: Stellantis. País: Estados Unidos. ¿Por qué merece desaparecer? Por abandono de funciones. Una marca no puede sobrevivir sin coches que vender. La han dejado morir lentamente, sin darle nuevos modelos. Ahora prometen un futuro eléctrico con concepts como el Halcyon, pero es muy poco y llega muy tarde. Su final será el resultado de décadas de negligencia corporativa. 3. DS Automobiles. Propietario: Stellantis. País: Francia. ¿Por qué se merece desaparecer? Porque el consumidor no es tonto. DS no ofrece una tecnología propia, ni plataformas exclusivas, ni una experiencia que justifique su sobreprecio. Es un intento de "quiero y no puedo" que el mercado jamás ha comprado. 4. Fisker. Propietario: Fisker Inc. (En bancarrota). País: Estados Unidos. ¿Por qué merece desaparecer? No puedes lanzar un producto a medio hacer y esperar que la gente pague por ser tu beta tester. Ahora, la empresa está en bancarrota, los coches pierden su valor a un ritmo vertiginoso y los propietarios están abandonados. Es la crónica de una muerte anunciada. 5. Infinity. Propietario: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. País: Japón. ¿Por qué merece estar en esta lista? Por pura negligencia. Nissan nunca supo o nunca quiso invertir de verdad en Infiniti para hacerla competitiva a nivel global. La abandonó a su suerte. Se retiraron de Europa en 2020 sin hacer ruido y en su mercado principal, Estados Unidos, sus ventas son irrelevantes. Ahora dicen que se van a centrar en SUVs eléctricos. Infiniti es la prueba de que, si no cuidas tu marca, se marchita y desaparece sin que nadie la eche de menos. 6. Jaguar. Propietario: Tata Motors (a través de Jaguar Land Rover). País: Reino Unido / India. ¿Por qué merece desaparecer? Su campaña de "rebranding" fue un ejercicio de egolatría sin enseñar un solo coche. Han enfadado a sus clientes fieles y han desaparecido del mapa. Esta apuesta de "todo o nada" es de una arrogancia sin límites. Si los nuevos eléctricos, que serán carísimos, no son un éxito absoluto, Jaguar no tendrá nada a lo que recurrir. Y será una gran pérdida para todos los aficionados. 7. Lancia. Propietario: Stellantis. País: Italia. Se merece estar en esta lista por el abandono y el maltrato al que ha sido sometida por sus propio dueños. 8. Lucid Motors. Propietario: Lucid Group, Inc. (Principal accionista: Fondo de Inversión Pública de Arabia Saudí). País: Estados Unidos / Arabia Saudí. ¿Por qué merece desaparecer? Porque su supervivencia depende exclusivamente del dinero del fondo soberano de Arabia Saudí. No es una empresa viable por sí misma. Su producción es mínima y no hace más que quemar miles de millones. Es una empresa artificialmente sostenida que demuestra que un buen producto no es suficiente sin un plan de negocio realista. 9. SEAT. Propietario: Grupo Volkswagen. País: España / Alemania. ¿Por qué es un final merecido? Porque, estratégicamente, Volkswagen decidió que no había sitio para SEAT, a medio camino entre Skoda y la propia Volkswagen. En lugar de potenciarla, crearon Cupra para quedarse con la parte más rentable del pastel: los coches más aspiracionales. Han canibalizado a la madre para alimentar a la hija. 10. Wey / Ora. Propietario: Great Wall Motor (GWM). País: China. Merecen estar aquí como representantes de la arrogancia de algunos fabricantes chinos, que pensaban que llegar a Europa era un camino de rosas. El mercado europeo es maduro y muy competitivo. No basta con hacer un coche aceptable; necesitas una estrategia de precios, de marca y de postventa sólida. Muchas de estas nuevas marcas desaparecerán de nuestro mercado tan rápido como llegaron. Conclusión. La industria está en un punto de inflexión brutal, y la arrogancia, la falta de visión o la mala gestión son pecados capitales. Estas diez marcas son la prueba de que en este negocio no se vive del pasado, sino de la capacidad de acertar con el futuro.

Na tientallen uren in Halcyon en Arcadia is één ding glashelder: Obsidian levert met The Outer Worlds 2 precies wat je wilt als fan van het eerste deel. De wereld is groter, […]
This week on Critical Arcade, Nick and Dave blast off to the outer reaches of the galaxy and dive headlong into The Outer Worlds 2 — Obsidian's long-awaited sequel that promises more satire, more chaos, and even more morally confusing decisions than before. Gone are the familiar worlds of Halcyon; this time, the duo find themselves in a brand-new star system, filled with fresh corporate colonies, sketchy science experiments, and alien ecosystems that probably violate several intergalactic safety codes.After awakening from cryosleep (again), the boys are thrown into a sprawling narrative where humanity's endless ambition for profit has colonized not just the stars, but morality itself. Nick and Dave must navigate the murky politics of megacorporations that sell salvation in subscription bundles, self-aware marketing AIs that think they're philosophers, and planetary settlers who are just trying to survive between paychecks. As always, they'll have to make tough calls — save a colony or sell it to the highest bidder? Cure the plague or monetize it? Be a hero, a villain, or just really good at lying about both?With every dialogue choice and every overpowered plasma rifle, Nick and Dave will shape the fate of an entire system teetering on the brink of collapse — assuming they can survive its wildlife first. From carnivorous moonslugs to genetically modified chickens with anger issues, danger lurks around every asteroid. Between exploration, firefights, and corporate propaganda jingles that feel uncomfortably catchy, our intrepid hosts will have to decide who to trust in a universe where everyone's got a brand to protect.Will Nick finally build a character who doesn't immediately dump all their skill points into “Persuade”? Will Dave stop looting everything long enough to follow the main quest? And how many hours will they spend debating whether to side with the rebels, the corporations, or whoever's offering free snacks this time?Tune in as they journey through the satirical, neon-lit chaos of The Outer Worlds 2, where every choice matters, every planet hides a secret, and every ad reminds you that “profit is the path to progress.” In space, no one can hear you scream — but they can absolutely bill you for it.

Join the Veterans Breakfast Club for a special livestream conversation with Elliot Ackerman, decorated Marine, CIA officer, acclaimed novelist, and co-chair of the Global War on Terror Memorial Foundation. Ackerman served five tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan as a Marine Raider and special operations officer, earning the Silver Star, Bronze Star with Valor, and Purple Heart. His experiences on the front lines, particularly during the Second Battle of Fallujah—profoundly shaped his worldview and continue to inform his writing about war, morality, and memory. Since leaving the Marines, Ackerman has become one of America's most distinguished voices on the human cost and complexity of modern warfare. His novels and memoirs—including Green on Blue, Dark at the Crossing (a National Book Award finalist), Waiting for Eden, Places and Names: On War, Revolution, and Returning, The Fifth Act: America's End in Afghanistan, 2034: A Novel of the Next World War (co-authored with Admiral James Stavridis), and Halcyon—explore what it means to serve, to lose, and to come home changed. In addition to his literary career, Ackerman serves as co-chair of the Global War on Terror Memorial Foundation, which is leading the effort to build a national memorial in Washington, D.C. honoring all who served in the post-9/11 wars. He has spoken passionately about ensuring that this memorial reflects not only the valor of service but also the complexity and enduring impact of America's longest conflict. This conversation will trace Ackerman's journey from the Marine Corps to the written page, exploring how combat, conscience, and storytelling intersect in his work. We'll also discuss his vision for the Global War on Terror Memorial and how remembrance can bridge the gap between those who served and those who did not. Learn more about Elliot Ackerman at his Penguin Random House Speakers page and read his reflections on the memorial project at the Global War on Terror Memorial Foundation.

For our 200th episode, we had the pleasure and privilege of speaking with Nat Bullard, one of the sharpest minds in the energy world. A leading analyst in climate and energy, Nat is known for his clear insights on clean energy, decarbonization, and the global energy transition. Formerly Chief Content Officer at BloombergNEF, he is now also a co-founder of the AI company Halcyon. Nat is perhaps best known for his annual 200-slide deck, a rich compilation of global data and charts that paints a clear, fact-based picture of where the energy sector is heading. Our conversation spans major shifts shaping the future: the electrification of the Global South, the rise of AI and datacenters, the unravelling of ESG, and the evolving geopolitics of energy through the lens of "Electrostates vs. Petrostates"—and how investment flows are responding. We also explore the dominant narratives in the energy space, many of which, we agree, are self-serving and unhelpful. Ultimately, the energy transition is being held back less by technology and more by entrenched interests and a lack of curiosity. But the world is changing fast—and there is reason for hope.
