One piece of good news 👍:
A 23-year-old Taiwanese man, Rui-Siang Lin, was charged with owning and operating the dark web narcotics marketplace Incognito Market. Incognito suddenly closed in March and the operator extorted all of its customers and vendors with fees of $100 to $20,000 to not publish information about their transactions. Mr Lin could face a mandatory minimum sentence of life in prison
One final note:
The health and personal information has reportedly been published online following the ransomware attack on Australian medical prescriptions provider MediSecure (reported in last week's Incident Updates wk20 as "not known at this time")
