For some reason Patreon isn't letting me post video links to embed the videos, but I can post regular links, so you'll have to click through this link to watch the video on youtube. I've already reached out to Patreon to hopefully fix this problem.

No more ransomware payments, a linux malware framework, and a UEFI rootkit was spotted! All that coming up now on ThreatWire. #threatwire #hak5
