I relate to the difficulty contacting French authorities. I found someone online planning an attack in France and it took me 2 days to get in touch with French authorities, when I finally did they acted like I was bothering them. I have no clue if they acted on the information.

As a Canadian, I absolutely do not trust the government and wish there was more transparency.

Jack, as much as I love your podcast the Math doesn't add up. 18 bitcoin at 30k makes 540k. It's 6am. I am sleepy but I can still work out sums in my head. Sean from Naples, Italy

Most if not all intelligence organizations have it as a crime to acknowledge they work for them. About 30 years ago a guy said he worked for one of the British MI departments. He was fired and thrown in prison. I think for 2 years. When he got out, they put him under servalence as if he was a major risk. It was sutch a wast of resources.

The botnet activity is something I've struggled with and will currently be revisiting. One of the issues I am trying to figure out is detecting the dns activity of say google chrome and it's search bar testing (google "chrome random dns lookup"). Very similar in the random call out to garbage dns's. Only thing I can think of is looking for patterns in the activity spike and possibly users experiencing performance issues but still a little green at figuring the whole thing out. Good stuff!

Wow, you can kill a person and stay 1-2 years in jail, rob a bank 6mo to 1year; but writing 10 lines of code 5 years in prison :D.

So far two are interested in going back to school .Needed something important that would convince them they can make a difference and the jobs are in demand. Thanks for guiding a elder that the younger ones look up to.
