Transatlantic Cable podcast, episode 226

This week on the Kaspersky podcast, Ahmed, David, and Jeff discuss the latest with REvil, Apple costing SM companies $10 billion, and more.

For this edition of the Kaspersky Transatlantic Cable podcast, we have quite the entertaining conversation, if you ask me. To open pod 226, we discuss a $10 billion hit caused by Apple.

In this story, we take a look at the business impact Apple’s app-tracking policy has had on major social networks including Facebook, Snapchat, and more. From there, we discuss Facebook’s change to Meta.

Our third story takes us back to school, with a trip to Harvard, where there is a bit of tomfoolery and black hat SEO going on with the university’s self-publishing system.

After that, we talk about German authorities’ exposing one of the REvil group’s major players. To close out the podcast, we have a weird story involving an Instagram hacker using hostage-style videos for scams.
