Hello, welcome to program number 206. We've got tons of questions that could lead our news discussion, we've got an interesting discussion on a type of malware that could be disruptive and Antivirus may not help and more. Here are the questions.

• What happens when someone decides to be a complete moron? We talk about it, and this story is just out of this world. Who was it, what did they do, and how much trouble will he be in?
• Next, what happened to a telecom company who also did moronic things who also deserves our moron of the podcast?

• Who in Russia recently got arrested because he stole from a certain ransomware group? Name the group, and while we don't know the suspect, name him by the initials given within the article.
• Speaking of arrests, which new ransomeware group which was once known as Conti had a member arrested? What was his position? What is his fine as a minimum and what might his prison sentence as a minimum according to the article be?
• What type of malware is now going to break records if last year's number was 1.1 billion dollars alone? What was it that I thought could be the number for this year based on last year's number and what was the percentage?
• Finally for our topic, what new ransomware might we be talking about this time, that kills a certain type of antivirus protection?
