About this episode

Shade ransomware operators close down, or so they say. A US pharmaceutical company is the victim of CLOP ransomware, and a Chinese medical research firm is breached by cyber criminals. Centralized versus decentralized approaches to contact tracing. A GDPR assistance site proves leaky. Disinformation breeds misinformation which breeds folly that brings misery. And Mr. Kim seems to be chillin’ downy ocean. Ben Yelin from UMD CHHS on responses to the EARN IT Act, guest is Katie Arrington, CISO for Assistant Secretary for Defense Acquisition on the Cybersecurity Maturity Model (CMMC) certification.
