RA Group is just the latest example of the ransomware landscape splintering

Talos researchers recently discovered a new ransomware group called "RA Group." This week, Nick Biasni joins Jon to discuss this new threat actor and the modified Babuk ransomware they've already used in attacks against a wide range of companies in the U.S. and South Korea. Nick talks about the group's use of source code that's already been leaked, where they could be headed next and what this group may signal for the larger ransomware landscape.
