Episode 352 of the Kaspersky podcast has GitHub, social media warning labels and ransomware payouts!

Episode 352 of the Transatlantic Cable podcast kicks off with a story concerning generative AI and hackers, with the hackers taking the side of artists (or so it would seem.)  From there discussion turns to the US surgeon general calling for ‘warning labels’ on social media, mainly in part due to the worrying rise in young people’s mental health.

To wrap up, the team look at two stories – the first concerning           ransomware and hospitals, and the second looking at a recent NHS data breach and black binbags.
