Show Notes

In this episode, we look at a $20 GPS tracker that you can add to your car to disable it if stolen, a (possibly) fake Android App to attack Russians for invading Ukraine, and a new product that promises to solve your ransomware problems.  Is this the end of the line for ransomware finally?  (spoiler alert - Probably not)
