In this clip, Max Smeets unpacks the global ransomware threat landscape—mapping out where the major cybercriminal groups operate from, who they target, and how geopolitics plays into it all.While Russia remains the epicenter of many ransomware operations, these groups often have multinational member bases across Belarus, Ukraine, and beyond, operating with a tacit agreement not to target Russian allies.We also explore how English-speaking countries like the U.S. are primary targets, not only for ideological reasons, but also because of language familiarity and financial payoff.This conversation dives into groups like Conti, the fragmentation of ransomware gangs, and the shift in targets toward Latin America, as attackers evolve both strategically and politically.If you’re curious about cybercrime, digital geopolitics, or how language shapes attack strategies, this is a must-watch.Watch Full Episode: https://youtu.be/XXSIa5-exTI
