Geoff White – Author & Investigative Journalist – CopperCasts Ep 002

In episode 2 we speak with Geoff White, an experienced tech reporter who has been covering information security and crypto for more than a decade. In his short Show & Tell segment, which you can find on our YouTube channel, Geoff explores the correlation between ransomeware attacks and the global Covid-19 pandemic.  He asks, has there been more cyber crime during lockdown? Has it been more successful? How do we measure this? In this longer conversation, Geoff discusses some of the history of cyber crime, what motivates it, and how you as an individual can protect yourself from it. He also discusses his interest in Bitcoin and where he sees the industry going. You can follow Geoff on Twitter: @GeoffWhite247, and you can buy his best selling new book Crime Dot Com, from Amazon.
