About this episode
Today we are joined by Geoff White, host of Cyber Hack and BBC journalist, taking a deep dive into the Conti ransomware gang. Geoff explores an in-depth investigation into the notorious Conti ransomware gang, drawing from thousands of leaked internal messages to reveal how the group operated behind the scenes.
The research uncovers surprising internal debates over targeting healthcare organizations, the fallout from accidentally exposing sensitive Saudi royal family data, and frantic efforts to free an arrested gang member. It also offers a rare look at Conti leader Vitaliy Kovalev through newly uncovered video footage, providing an unprecedented glimpse into one of cybercrime's most influential figures.
