I flew to Romania to find hackers who fight hackers

So, I flew to Romania to find a secret cyber crime fighting team. No, I really did. They have saved victims over $1 billion in ransom payments, and almost no one knows they exist. Inside Bit Defender HQ, they're called the Draco team. These guys are legit. They're real malware analysts, forensic experts, and the stories they told me were insane. For 2 and 1/2 years, the Draco team went to war on this gang. And these ransomware guys, they're bad dudes. They're stealing millions from people by locking up their files and demanding payment. If you don't pay, your files remain encrypted. You can't access them. you lose them forever. But Draco wasn't going to have that. They fought back. They built tools that would decrypt these files for you for free. Now, sure, the criminals would catch on. They would update their malware, but Draco was right there ready with another decryptor tool. And they did this so many times that the ransomware gang was like, "We can't make money. We give up. " The operation shut down. But you know what? Here's what scares me. Back in the day, those criminals, they needed technical skills. Now, they don't need them anymore. AI writes the code, the emails, the scripts, everything. And this goes way beyond ransomware. Scammers are using AI to trick people in new ways every single day. Now, I know what you're thinking. You can't be fooled, right? Yes, you can. Even the experts I interview get fooled by AI sometimes. And these guys build tools to help fight this. But now, imagine the average person, your parents, your grandparents, your kids. They don't stand a chance. These scams are too good, too convincing, and they're coming out fast. So, Bit Defender built a tool for them. It's called scam protection. It's kind of like a firewall sitting in between your family and the scammers trying to trick them. It can check calls, messages, emails, all the things most people can't verify. So, after everything I saw in Romania, most people have no idea how dangerous scams have become. So, seriously, right now, check it out. Link right here. Check out scam protection from Bit Defender. Don't let your grandma get hacked.
