Ep.110 Ransomware in our age of Disorder with Jamie MacColl
Join us as RUSI's Jamie MacColl discusses the intersection of cybercrime and national security with Arthur Snell, shedding light on ransomware and international cooperation efforts.
Arthur Snell is joined by Jamie MacColl, a Senior Research Fellow in Cyber and Tech at RUSI. Jamie's research focuses on the national security implications of cybercrime, including the relationships between hostile states and cybercriminals. He has given evidence on ransomware on more than one occasion to the Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy and also represents RUSI at the Counter Ransomware Initiative, a multilateral grouping of more than 80 countries committed to combating ransomware.Â
They discuss the current state of ransomware, its scale and impact, the role played by rogue states such as Russia and North Korea, and the reasons for the lack of coordinated international progress in combating the issue.
