On Friday, I did a video updating two of the stories I covered last week. First, we have new updates on the WannaCry hero’s arrest. The indictment went public and shares six charges against Hutchins. Meanwhile, many researchers in the security community support Hutchins, and believe the U.S. government made some sort of mistake. Second, I have a small update on the HBO hack. Right after the hack, a Game of Thrones episode leaked onto the Internet early. Turns out that wasn’t related to the hack, but since my video on Friday the hackers have released new information, which you can see in the reference section of this post. Watch the video below for all the details.

I love the new introduction! The previous one was way too long.
