About this listen

 As the US reeled from the news that a Russian intelligence service called the SVR was behind the massive data theft at hundreds of major US companies and many US government departments, another series of cyberattacks occurred that threatened American lives. At the height of the coronavirus pandemic, hackers – many from Russian cybercrime groups—set their sights on hacking US hospitals. They encrypted the hospitals’ computers and demanded millions in ransom payments to decrypt them. With lives at stake, US hospitals paid up.©2023 Audible Originals, LLC (P)2023 Audible Originals, LLC
