Today, the Windows 11 2022 Update rolls out in 190+ countries.

We formed new habits; and they stuck. The PC has fundamentally connected us in more emotional ways than ever before.

In this edition, we pull back the curtain on the evolving cybercrime economy and the rise of Ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS).
