From there, discussion moves on to how a scammer was able, briefly, to hit the number one spot in Google results for \u201cOpenSea\u201d \u2014 which is a legitimate site for the trading of NFTs. As ever, be wary of clicking without checking!<\/p>\n<p>Finally, to wrap up, the team looks at two stories about ransomware: the first on the return of Emotet and the second looking at the recent arrest of an affiliate related to the REvil ransomware gang.<\/p>\n<p>If you liked what you heard, please consider subscribing and sharing with your friends.
