The Restructuring Behind the Revival

Soph and Emma Louise-Boynton get into the ASOS hack, where hackers messaged customers directly through the app after the company wouldn’t pay up. We talk about how these digital ransoms work, why so many businesses quietly hand over the money, and the flaw hiding under 70% of the internet that nearly went very wrong. Plus, the cybersecurity stocks and insurers doing well out of it all. Then we turn to Victoria’s Secret, from Kylie Jenner’s $50 million bra to how the brand clawed its way back after years of decline. Not financial advice.
