After a brief hiatus in old Constantinople, Ahmed and I rejoin David just in time for this week\u2019s Kaspersky Transatlantic Cable<\/em> podcast<\/a>, episode 231.<\/p>\n

To kick things off, we enter The Sandbox metaverse and get into its land sales \u2014in this case, the opportunity to be Snoop Dogg\u2019s neighbor. Well, sort of. Believe it or not, one of the NFTs sold for a whopping $450,000. And yes, you read that right, someone ponied up the cost of a home \u2014 or several, in many US markets \u2014 for a plot in the Snoopverse. Virtually living next to the virtual doggfather? What a time to be alive!<\/p>\n

From there, we head back to familiar territory for a look at Facebook\u2019s removal of its self-imposed ban on cryptocurrency ads. Then, after a brief quiz break, it\u2019s a pair of stories about disinformation and what Facebook and Twitter are doing to battle it on their platforms (not enough).<\/p>\n

To close out the podcast, we chat about a new phishing scheme using the Omicron variant of COVID-19 to attract UK victims.<\/p>\n
