In this eye-opening episode of Man vs Scam, hosts Utkarshica Srivastava and Brijesh Singh dive into the chilling world of ransomware—a modern digital menace that’s silently hijacking systems and holding entire networks hostage. From hospitals and police departments to everyday individuals, no one is truly safe.
But who’s behind these faceless attacks? Why are even the most secure systems falling prey? And what really happens when the ransom is paid—or not?
With real-life stories, shocking stats, and expert insights, this episode unravels the anatomy of ransomware and exposes how close we all are to becoming the next target. If you think cybersecurity is just a tech problem, think again.
