Steal first, encrypt later. Cobots at risk? Gangnam Industrial Style looks for industrial info. Rancor update. FISC takes FBI to the woodshed. Vlad the Updater.

More ransomware steals first, encrypts later. Are cobots vulnerable to novel forms of ransomware? Gangnam Industrial Style--the espionage campaign, not the K-pop dance number.

Guest is Eli Sugarman from the Hewlett Foundation with the results of their CyberVisuals contest.
