Kimberly Goody and Jeremy Kennelly from Mandiant’s Financial Crime Analysis team join host Luke McNamara to discuss trends in the cyber crime landscape. Kimberly and Jeremy dive into the ongoing nature of banking malware repurposed for other types of financially-motivated crime, SIM swapping, experimentation with file types and post-compromise exploitation frameworks, and more. Of course, the discussion inevitably returns to the topic of extortion and ransomware, and where that might be heading next.
