Long and crazy read. Prepare yourself.
January 16th, 2024 a video surfaced online of a gunman, Jeffrey West, 68, shooting his step-son, Kyle Spitze, 24, with a gun. Subsequently Jeffrey West got into a shootout with the police and dying from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The video was shared online by Kyle Spitze as he recorded the incident from his phone. (Image 1). It is rumored that Jeffrey West threatened to kill Kyle Spitze because he enjoyed cross-dressing.
Fast forward to February 27th: the Tennessee Eastern District Court unsealed documents showing that February 10th the FBI visited Kyle Spitze. They found a large quantity of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) on his personal device. Specifically, Kyle Spitze would perform sextortion on young juvenile women.
The released affidavit is long and censored to protect juveniles identities. The affidavit notes that the FBI CART (Computer Analysis Response Team) was able to successfully locate some of the victims from photograph metadata.
tl;dr crazy internet video accidentally unveils internet predator

One if our primary recommendations to younger people is to immediately, without hesitation, involve yourself in the cybersecurity-ecosystem. It does not matter if it is Twitter, Mastodon, whatever, but it needs to be done.
The reason why is not social networking (although this can help). The real reason why is the constant, nearly suffocating, flooding of information, news, and research. Every single day we see new malware analysis papers, research papers on nearly every IT-based field you can conjure, and news on cyber crime, technological advancements, or 'futurism'.
Of course the quality of the things mentioned varies on an almost hourly basis, but this constant stream of information will allow you to continually educate yourself and grow as a person. We are not recommending you be glued to Twitter (or whatever you choose), but simply logging in once a day, before bed or in the morning, and just simply doom-scrolling the website, seeing the horrors unleashed, will allow you to grow.
Also, you will collect a colossal 'to-read-list' in your bookmarks and every so often you'll read 1 or 2 papers and become depressed that you didn't think of the research they shared sooner.

If we had to guess, we assume famous American rapper Meek Mill is conveying his frustration with ransomware groups.
Unfortunately, what MeekMill does not know, is it is going to take more than a private detective (or 100's) to dismantle ransomware groups.
