Rachel Bleiman from Temple University joins us to talk about training for social engineering and the Critical Infrastructure Ransomware Attacks (CIRA) Dataset that they have created to promote research. Prof Nicolas Vermeys answers a silly question about why some cybercrimes are tried in a criminal court and others in a civil court.
