Part II of Morgan Cheatham's article on Healthcare AI pricing models explores five usage-based options: Linear, Volumetric, Bundled Usage, Managed Services, and Device-Maintenance. Each model's strengths, weaknesses, and appropriate use instances are discussed, along with examples of companies employing each method. Critical decisions that AI companies must make are outlined when choosing a pricing model, including defining a unit of value and relating value delivered to the pricing model. The article also covers the funding of linear, usage-based pricing models, managing value assignment, and consumer cash pay. Transitioning between models and potential challenges faced are also discussed.

UK's NCA shut down LockBit ransomware operation through Operation Cronos, obtaining source code, arresting actors in Poland, Ukraine, freezing 200+ cryptocurrency accounts, and unsealing US indictments/sanctions against Russian nationals. LockBit, active since 2019, ran a ransomware-as-a-service scheme, deploying 'double' or 'triple extortion' tactics. The operation led to infiltration of LockBit's services, dismantling 34 servers, retrieving 1000+ decryption keys, and seizing a custom data exfiltration tool, StealBit. LockBit, affecting 2500+ global victims and earning $120m+ in illicit profits, is hampered, losing secrecy and anonymity.
