Prologue Back in episode 469 ( https://ftwr.libsyn.com/dtsr-episode-469-yght-they-hacked-ransomware ) we brought Steve Perkins of Nubeva ("Cloud Go" in Portuguese) to talk about a very interesting "accidental" development. They'd figured out a way to steal encryption keys from ransomware, thus rendering it potentially toothless. Well, now Steve's back with a product, and a way to reverse ransomware's encryption with minimal friction and without paying the ransom. So ... yeah. Listen in.
