What We Are Reading Today: The Ransomware Hunting Team by Renee Dudley & Daniel Golden

This is a real-life technological thriller about a band of eccentric misfits taking on the biggest cybersecurity threats of our time.

The ransomware hunting team is a book that should not be overlooked by anyone who wishes to better understand the complex cyberworld we inhabit.

The members of the self-titled ransomware hunting team are spread out across the US and Europe.

Pulitzer Prize- winning journalist and author Daniel Golden and Propublica Technology reporter Renee Dudley have teamed up to tell the story of the band of societal outcasts and misfits who have turned their passions into superpowers, saving the world’s networks and computers from increasingly dangerous ransomware viruses, saving hundreds of millions of dollars from being put into the hands of cybercriminals, as well as saving sensitive personal information from being leaked to the dark web.
