Listen "Crypto or Consequences"
Episode Synopsis
Ransomware is no longer just about malicious code—it’s about business models, negotiation tactics, and the psychology of fear. In this episode, we break down how ransomware gangs operate like startups, with affiliates, commissions, customer service desks, and even loyalty programs. You’ll learn how they choose victims, manipulate negotiations with countdown clocks and empathy language, and sustain their criminal economy through double extortion and crypto laundering.By listening, you’ll sharpen your ability to recognize the psychological games attackers play, improve your response strategies under pressure, and strengthen your team’s readiness to disrupt the ransomware cycle. You’ll gain insight into building resilience through backups, playbooks, and cultural readiness while learning how to turn ransomware defense from panic-driven reaction into disciplined preparation.Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
