The Lazarus Heist is the story of notorious hackers the Lazarus Group, who have been breaking in all over the world, in all sorts of places - movie companies, banks, TV stations, even hospitals. They’re dangerous because they’re unpredictable. You never know where they’ll strike next, and they don’t seem to care about getting found out.
There are lots of cyber crime gangs, of course, but according to investigators, the Lazarus Group is different - they’re working for a nation-state, North Korea. Pyongyang has denied it's involved.
The Lazarus Heist podcast is presented by cybercrime investigative journalist Geoff White and veteran foreign correspondent and renowned North Korea expert Jean Lee.
Podcast producer: Estelle Doyle

After this biggest loss, the then governor still treated Bangladesh as a reputed Intellectual and patriot, and progressing-minded thinker. He was not been punished and even his name is not mentioned in any investigation that he has not done his job properly and hide it for more than 6 months, he only had to leave the position of governor. The whole world will know how incompetent he is, now a visiting professor at the University of Dhaka, everything is possible in Bangladesh even after losing a Billion !!!!
You guys did not lose 1 billion. But 80 million . 101 million was transferred . Rest were blocked by Feb in New York. 21 went srilanka and 80 to Phillipines. 21 from srilanka was recovered.
@nishu413 Yes, 950 was targeted, but srilankan money did not go because of spelling mistakes, and the rest of the money to the Philippines has been stopped of autobtrigger of sanctions for the name Jupitar We haven't gotten any pennies back from the Philippines, and the Bangladesh government did not share the investigation report with anyone. If you convert the USD to Bangladesh currency Taka then you'll understand how big even what we lost
Loss is a loss but out of 80 mill. 15 mil was recovered from Phillipines casino in 2019.
RCBC has faced severe penalties. .
Your governor fault was he did not inform his own govt for months and he was sacked for it . That punishable offence and your courts should decide on it.
but calling him as unpatriot or non progressive is not founded.
He failed as administrator and definately he is not cyber security expert.
but it does not mean he may not be intellectual or a good economist.
In a country where you have so few PPL filling that role. As a govt, You will have to pardon him as he may be needed in future.
Your country is not US, Europe or even china and india . Where you can easily replace such talent. Or go after him in witch hunt for incompetence.
@nishu413 our the then governor is a recognised intellectual and now a professor emirates in University of Dhaka, has that much of intellect how to act in a critical situation rather than employing a personal contact to investigate, and living his life as businesses as usual, even when it's leaked he was in a official tour to India. Before being governor, he had huge experience in administrative function, and I believe I am still heading an NGO Sommonoy. If he doesn't know what the impact is, what happened, that's one thing, and knowing what he did is ... I stand by comment that Gyan Papi 's can not be forgiven. He is fortunate that inquiry will never see the light as his connection with the ruling party, but truth is already on the textbook of financial crime case study and book, and his role as governor is properly potrayes there
@@chanbeaz Nicely said. Thank you sir.
They used a lowly branch manager in the Philippines as a scapegoat. Considering the scapegoat's position, she cannot do it alone. Unfortunately for her, she was used and jailed now in the Philippines. However, no one who benefited from the heist had been prosecuted at least. Unbelievable.
RCBC bank manager is a good soldier....she never snitched😤
north koreans left the chat..
Stupid comment
that bank manager is involved in this theft
Chinese guy used money he scammed to corrupt the Philippine police
I don't know how this ended up in my recommends, but I'm hooked! On to part 5!!!
THANK YOU BBC FOR SHARING YOUR WONDROUS CONTENT LIBRARY.
এই ঘটনার সাথে জাতির নাতি জড়িত 😅😅
It was discovered by a bank employee of Sri Lanka who returned the pay order stating that there was error in the instructions without thinking much about it.
4:55
The the Governor Bangladesh Bank Dr. Atiur Rahman & his Deputy Governor + all of those in this GANG must be punished heavily for their failure to protect our money ..... !!!!!!! 😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
It is not only theft, it is the shame of a nation, the shame of my Bangladesh😢
Cannot believe the Reserve Bank Governor did not report this up the line to the Revenue Minister. I can understand not doing it in the first few days - weekend & it looked like it may've just been a 'glitch' & that the transfers could be reversed but once it became obvious that there were bigger forces in play & that it was obviously dodgy he should've alerted the Govt ministers at the very least. Cannot believe he was able to just 'walk away' without any sanctions against him.
@@DeepaliRoy-sf8ob what do you mean?
So, the Swift System should install a "HOTLINE" that can contact any bank on the system that can monitor and act as a switchboard/liasion authority to get in touch with any bank authority to resolve problems, especially on long weekends..
Maybe someone very powerful, within the Bangladeshi power holder, creates a path to do this.
Bangladesh bank system should be upgraded and it should be move to a secure area with restricted access on the building, as it deals with the capitals. The network system should be separated so passing from one computer to swift computer becomes impossible.
Top government officials and politicians of Bangladesh were involved
Prime minister shekh Hasana and her Son Sajib Wazed Was involved
The power of critical thinking. It is sad, fascinating story. Proper planning on the project manager part, but he failed on the last stretch. Need to make this into a movie/novel. It would make a great read especially with all logs included in the manuscript to connect the dots.
It’s a movie “ billion dollar heist”
lol if they include the logs it will be great help for next heist.🤣
Bangladesh is a more corrupt country in parts of the world. So, I believe that without any touch from Bangladesh Bank (BB) cannot make it. After all as a man of Bangladesh, I'm addressing all sectors that continue to have huge corruption every day. Such as getting services from personal healthcare, the police, the passport office, all licensing boards, land, local ministries offices in all parts of Bangladesh and so on. The great corruption impact hit our basic commodities and economics As a result, we cannot escape from this situation this is because if we strike for our basic commodities the present ruler beat us anyway such as through physical harassment, police cases etc.
You are absolutely right... someone had involved with this heist
It’s not an attack!
It’s an insiders job
No, it was an attack by North Korea
Not a single Bangladesh employee was jailed😤
These feel like things u can see from the manila casino attack
Its a plan actually. The employee of Bangladesh bank member involved with this
Vigilance. Critical thinking. Common sense. Action.
Maybe the lesson learned would be that the urgent requests for clarification (2:18) be done by phone to not less than two or more co-signatories of a bank on their mobile phones, for even when off-duty, in addition to through computer messages, especially for large sums. Hopefully the lesson is learnt.
But that's not that secure either- now people can use AI to copy voices
That would increase vulnerability.
Hackers jumped from one computer to the other , until they found the credentials to log into the swift terminal, am I right? Some BB official stored the Swift Terminal credentials in his/her PC? Am I right?
Horrible work is horrible management and Indian IT specialist tougher doing this.
Also involved this horrible government.
Shame on them.
Nah, we only took 100Million, the bank added a zero and pocketed 900million but we'll get the security contract here at PWC.
Did the authority find out the guy eventually since the hacker Showing in last part was not confirmed truly?
as if Banglaeshi authority is even interested for their inside job.
The way the heist is portrayed here is inaccurate. In my knowledge; this height was just one item from the bunch. Very powerful transnational criminal syndicate carefully orchestrated this heist as part of a much bigger operation. Hopefully, in the near future, some portion of it will be revealed to public. watching it; crossed my mind that they influenced BBC to divert the ugly truth.
You are right bro..
Some say Rakesh Asthana himself was involved in the crime
lol no one says that
Watch the whole series here 👉 th-cam.com/play/PLz_B0PFGIn4ccgXclIq9gdmf_nFNz-Og8.html

Negligence of Bangladesh government official-------
CONGRATULATIONS
If I was the leader of bangladesh I'd make them pay dearly
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Seems like they were just waiting for the right moment when everyone was resting. Critical thinking, sad that it wasn't detected and funds were lost.
It was preplanned and
willfully Act
Any books on the topic?
Hopefully, in future.
I enjoyed Bad Blood Elizabeth Holmes Billion Dollar Whale Lo Wirecard's book
So many questions
Thats why I don't trust banks
👍🏾
these circle graphics are so distrubing
Prime minister Sheikh Hasina's son - Mr Joy. Many believe he is behind all these.
The narrator’s lisp is killin’ me lol… Be whe-wy whe-wy quiet, the was-qual-wy wabbit is trying to steal a billion dollars 😂
I'm transfixed...😮
Sad
The info is perfect but the video is very poor .
Some how i believe that north korea could be behind it because of the economic situation in there country.
You are 100% correct. There are only two factions ready to do this heist. One player is like you said North Korea and the other one is Russia or better said Russian hackers.
This is sheikh Hasina son and his wife know well his wife has contacted with international mafia this two sajib wazed joy and his wife responsible for this
Your the good, goodness one..ur the copyright and patent with negin and mua
851m never went through just because of a misspelled word😅 madness.. I think the Bangladesh government should be grateful.
NK and Philippines should pay
As if it went to Philippine government
Never 😂 Philippines did not benefit from this event, not even a dime dude. Get it from North Korea 😂
@@ordinarychris if dollars comes to Philippines of causes it helped the country as foreign exchange
Ugh Philippines. So proud of my country.
Philippines only assisted N.Koreans hackers
Stop stealing from my country🤣😂
Ur country all men thif
It was obviously not PH who stole, it was the hackers from other countries
RCBC bank manager is a good soldier....she never snitched😤
It seems terrifying in the scale of the boat pirates of it as filipinos

How does he get internet in N Korea and what type of computer does he use?
There are approved government devices, and only authorized personnel can utilize the tool.
state sponsored by north korean government probably with the latest computers they can get
lol don't believe what FBI says they always makes as they like. Just for the evidence it went to Philippine!
There is a im looking for a house new guy thing
🙄🙄
I am looking for a car though
It's so obvious that the american is blaming the Iranians for the heist. That makes us laugh from a neutral perspective. What about the case that Phillipines should be blamed for the heist.
hi
Bangladeshi money kept in New York 😂😂😂
Every country's money is in New York as foreign reserves in the federal reserve Bank of New York. That's how the world works.
@@lifePaultheball u can't send money to other country , but they keep the money for what!
