What does the world's most prolific cybercrime operation look like from the inside? And why does it operate suspiciously like a mid-sized tech company, complete with HR headaches, salary negotiations, and a distracted boss nobody respects? Ron Eddings sits down with investigative journalist and author, Geoff White, who has spent over 20 years covering cybercrime for the BBC, Channel 4 News, and Sky News. Geoff has read 47,000 of Conti's 300,000 leaked internal chats, the gang that dominated the ransomware world in 2021 and 2022, pulling in hundreds of millions of dollars in ransoms. From the Moscow movie studio the gang's leader used to launder money years previously, to the Ukraine war leak that brought the whole Conti empire down, this one plays like true crime… because it is. Geoff makes the case that defenders should think the same way: you're not buying security tools to fend off a hoodie in a basement, you're investing to outcompete a rival business. For anyone trying to integrate a better incident response plan, this episode reframes the whole conversation. Impactful Moments 00:00 - Introduction 01:45 - The Rewind: Colonial Pipeline and the week the East Coast ran dry 03:50 - How Geoff went from tech news to cybercrime reporting 05:10 - The difference between threat groups, APTs, and crime gangs 07:25 - Inside the Conti leaks: 300,000 messages 08:55 - Meet the gang: Stern, Mango, and Target 13:20 - Stern's origin story: Zeus malware, money mules, and the 25th Floor front company 16:50 - Ransomware gangs vs. the mafia: where's the protection? 18:10 - The money: $2.5M single payouts and 400 years of wages 19:30 - The Conti member arrested on a layover in Miami 20:35 - The downfall: the Ukraine war and the leak that ended it all 23:05 - What businesses can learn from Conti: recruitment, retention, reputation 27:45 - Advice for defenders: response waves, segmentation, and negotiating down 31:05 - Ron's takeaway: belonging and the thin line between operator and criminal   Links Connect with Geoff White on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/geoffwhitetech/ Get your own copy of Geoff's books (Crime Dot Com, The Lazarus Heist, Rinsed): https://geoffwhite.tech/book/ Want more information on Conti?

We keep being told that artificial intelligence is going to help us do just about everything. Make us healthy. Personally tutor each student. Run our businesses efficiently. Make our decisions. Even fold our laundry. As a result, we would have hours of additional free time, and our AI machines would make discoveries previously unimaginable for humankind.  What does that really mean? Will AI really make things better? To find out, award-winning journalist Joanna Stern let AI run her life for one year. The results were both funny and unsettling, and she reported what happened in her new book I Am Not a Robot. Stern used AI tools and robots to do her household chores, manage her health, and transport her family on its vacation. If she needed a decision  made or a task done, she let AI take the lead. The results were not what you'd expect, and Stern has produced an AI guide for ordinary people and gets around the hype and jargon that clutters our AI discussions. Humankind is only a few years into the AI Age, but you can join us in-person—or virtually, like an AI agent—to get Joanna Stern's lessons on what to expect and what it means for you.

It's been more than 400 years since she first appeared on stage, and she's still controversial. Margaret of Anjou appears in not one, not two, but four of Shakespeare's plays—Henry VI Parts 1, 2, and 3 as well as Richard III—maturing from a young bride-to-be to a vengeful widow. She also speaks the most lines of any of Shakespeare's female characters. Although her historical counterpart never saw battle, Shakespeare's Margaret leads armies. And while the real Margaret was permanently exiled to France, the Shakespearean version returns to England to confront her old foes. Charles O'Malley and Scott W. Stern, co-authors of Shakespeare's Margaret: The Dramatic Life of a Warrior Queen, share how Margaret exists as an avatar for anxieties about women in power throughout the ages. Shakespeare's depiction may have been influenced by Elizabeth I, but Margaret has been portrayed on stage as a witch, a seductress, an anti-fascist resistance fighter, and even an analogue for Margaret Thatcher. In this episode, O'Malley and Stern shine the spotlight on Shakespeare's most deliciously complex anti-heroine. From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast.

We talk more about the FIFA World Cup and the matches I attended in Atlanta. Jersey Jack Pinball has announced a new pinball machine based on Sonic The Hedgehog, and the headlines once again focus on the high price of owning pinball. Find a pinball arcade near you and request it so you can play it for just a dollar or two! The Steam Machine has launched with a price much higher than Valve initially intended due to the RAM and storage shortages. Valve has released a new version of SteamOS that can now run on any AMD desktop - for free. Grand Theft Auto VI will not release with a physical edition on consoles, and it came out later that it will NEVER launch with a physical edition. Then we talk to Jamie from OLR IIDX about Transformers Pinball and the 24th anniversary of Orange Lounge Radio.

Today's Living Emunah Message is Dedicated Leiluy Nishmat: Moshe Aaron Tzadok a"h If Hashem puts a person in an unexpected, challenging situation, his emunah is going to be tested. The natural reaction is to focus on the problem and wonder why Hashem is doing this. But we must know that Hashem is not placing an obstacle in front of the person. He is giving him an opportunity—one that could never have existed without the challenge. Rabbi David Sutton told the following story, which took place just a few days ago. It was 5:30 on Friday afternoon in Lakewood, New Jersey, and the power suddenly went out in Mrs. Schwartz's home. She had a Sheva Berachot planned in her house with 45 guests, including 23 young children, and now she had no electricity to heat the food or host everyone comfortably. The following is Mrs. Schwartz's account of what happened next. "I realized by six o'clock that I desperately needed a place to heat our food. Miraculously, the cure had come before the illness. That very morning, before the outage even occurred, a neighbor named Rivka Strauss had called. She was on a different grid that didn't lose power, and she offered her extra refrigerator space and oven just in case we would ever need it. As soon as my oven went out, I called her, and she immediately told me to bring my food over. Meanwhile, my husband reached out to Rabbi Davidowitz. Since Rabbi Davidowitz has internet access and we don't, my husband hoped he could check with the electric company to see when the power might return. During the call, Rabbi Davidowitz asked, 'You're making your simcha at a catering hall, right?' When my husband explained that we were actually hosting it at our own house, Rabbi and Mrs. Davidowitz instantly mobilized. They were going away for Shabbat and insisted that we take over their home. 'We're opening our doors. Please,' they urged. At first we hesitated, hoping the power would come back on, but once we found out there was no update on the outage, I walked over to the Davidowitz home. They were already opening their dining room table for us. Mrs. Davidowitz greeted me warmly, showing me where we could put the children to sleep and pointing out the cribs and pack-and-plays. She gave me a tour of the kitchen, explaining the meat, dairy, and pareve setups. She told me, 'The house is yours. Feel free to take anything from the refrigerator, freezer, or pantry.' And we really did. With 45 people, we ended up needing everything from their seltzer maker to extra plasticware for the waiters. The logistics were wild, but the teamwork and achdut were incredible. We were moving massive hot pots of chicken soup across the street under serious pressure, along with high chairs, paper goods, tablecloths, and silk flowers. The boys hauled everything over, and my daughters led the charge on cleaning up afterward, with a lot of help from the Stern family. All of the guests who were staying nearby had no electricity where they were sleeping, and the heat was unbearable. So, 45 people crowded into the Davidowitz home on Shabbat afternoon, sitting on couches, eating around the dinette, and reading books together. After Shabbat, we went back to thank the Davidowitz family for letting an army of people take over their home, but they refused to take any credit. Instead, they told us that we had brought berachah and simcha into their home and that they were incredibly excited about it. Mrs. Davidowitz then shared the beautiful, emotional reason why. That Shabbat was her father's sheloshim(30 days since he passed away). She had really wanted to host her extended family in her home to honor his memory, but because another sister had a better setup, the family decided to go there instead. She had been terribly disappointed. When our power went out and the opportunity to host our simcha arose, she felt it was a gift from Hashem. She told us that when she walked into her sister's house and saw a picture of her father, she looked at it and said, 'Thank you, Tati. This is going to be for your iluy neshamah.' She felt so grateful that we were using her home. What had begun as our stressful blackout became a beautiful tribute to her father." What began as a blackout became an opportunity that none of these people would have wanted to miss. The Schwartzes, whose Shabbat seemed to be falling apart, experienced extraordinary kindness. Rivka Strauss was given the opportunity to help at exactly the right moment. The Davidowitz family was given the opportunity to open their home and perform an incredible act of chesed. Mrs. Davidowitz received the very opportunity she had been hoping for—to fill her home with people in honor of her father's neshamah. So often we view our challenges only as problems to overcome. But many times, Hashem is using those very challenges to present us with opportunities that could never have existed otherwise. When Hashem sends us a challenge, our first instinct is naturally to ask, "Why is this happening? Hashem, what do You want from me?" Perhaps the better question is, "What opportunity is Hashem placing before me?" Very often, hidden inside the difficulty is a chance to perform a great mitzvah, help another person, grow in emunah, or bring tremendous blessing into our lives. When we respond with emunah instead of frustration, we may discover that what first appeared to be an obstacle was actually one of Hashem's greatest gifts.
