The Ransomware Hunting Team 2022
The Ransomware Hunting Team: A Band of Misfits' Improbable Crusade to Save the World from Cybercrime is a 2022 nonfiction book written by Renee Dudley and Daniel Golden. It was released in the United States in October 2022 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. The book focuses on a group of volunteer freelance computer specialists who investigate ransomware and assist victims in retrieving their data without paying ransoms. Portions of this book were earlier published in a ProPublica podcast titled The Extortion Economy: Exploring the Secret World of Ransomware, which appeared in December 2021.
Dudley works as a technology journalist for ProPublica, while Golden is also a journalist and senior editor at that same publication. Golden received the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for Beat Reporting, and Dudley was a finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting.
The audiobook version of The Ransomware Hunting Team, produced by Macmillan Audio and read by BD Wong, earned the 2023 Audie Award for Nonfiction.
