CyberWire Daily

Guilherme Venere from Cisco Talos joins to discuss their research on "A deep dive into Phobos ransomware, recently deployed by 8Base group."

In this 2-part research series, Talos conducts a deep dive into the Phobos ransomware, including its affiliate structure, activity and capabilities, as well as the one private key that could enable decryption of all the samples analyzed.
