It’s North Korea’s first crypto conference. The delegates' every move in Pyongyang is followed and they soon regret the trip. “I was put in handcuffs and taken to an interrogation centre,” one tells us.
The hackers are back. In fact, the cyber criminals never went away. The Lazarus Heist Season 2 tells the story of the theft of billions of dollars around the globe. Investigators say a secretive, elite North Korean hacking ring is responsible. Nicknamed the Lazarus Group, it’s claimed they are becoming more ambitious, more audacious and more successful. North Korea says it has nothing to do with these cybercrimes, saying the United States is making these allegations to try and tarnish its image.
The Lazarus Heist podcast is presented by cybercrime investigative journalist Geoff White and veteran foreign correspondent and renowned North Korea expert Jean Lee.

The crypto bros' arrogance and hubris are the stuff of legend, and Mr. Cao's devotion for the DPRK is slavish. Thanks for this episode. Is there a season three in the works?

20:00 “he has this way of being very open and honest”. He sounds like he’s one of us, autistic.
“When he went there, I was scared to death for him”. An autistic ally. Rare.

I believe in choice. People who believe that juche in NK is a better way have the option to love and live there. Too bad that people in NK cannot leave their country.

One of exchanges (Coincheck) in Japan has been compromised by someone in 2018. The account holders of this exchange lost entirely 58 billions JPY. who is someone grabbing it? It might have been North Korea. The BBC, I would like you to check this incident up deeply. 🙃
