🛡️ Bitdefender presents CYBERCRIME: From the Frontline—the podcast that takes you inside real-life cyberattacks. In this episode, Inside the Ransomware Marketplace: Trust, Code, and Chaos. Ransomware has evolved, and so has the global ransomware ecosystem, fueled by a rotating cast of characters, shifting business models, and cyberinsurance-funded ransom payments.

🔊 In this episode:
↪︎ How ransomware gangs operate like modern startups.
↪︎ What cyber insurance companies weigh before paying a ransom.
↪︎ Why some ransomware groups publicly market themselves—and others disappear overnight.
↪︎ How lone actors and affiliates are redefining the threat landscape.
↪︎ An expensive mistake to avoid if your organization ever considers paying a ransom.

With real-world stories, market insights, and a look at law enforcement’s role, this episode examines how ransomware has evolved into an industrial-scale operation and what organizations can do to mitigate its impact.

🎙️ Join Bitdefender Director of IoT Security Dan Berte as he hosts Bitdefender Technical Solutions Director Martin Zugec and Bitdefender Team Lead of the Cyber Intelligence Fusion Cell, Sean Nikkel.
