This is a wild read. I’d recommend reading the article, but the tl;dr is…
He charged customers up to 20 times the ransom amount ($150K vs $8K in the example), paid the ransom to get their data back, and pocketed the difference as easy profit.

InstaTube. Bold move trying to convince butterfly brain video viewers to watch something longer than 30 seconds.
Still, Shorts on YT seems to work. Maybe Meta are trying to balance it out? It will mean spending on storage, so anyone’s guess how it will go.

There sure is a lot of “CEO said a thing” bollocks being dutifully reported by the media about this clown right now. His verbal effluent is probably overtaking the verbal effluent of the clown in the White House right now, which surely breaks a world record.
