Published: June 2, 2022, 2:50 p.m.

Why did a group of hackers with links to North Korea launch a cyber attack on Sony Pictures in 2014? That\u2019s what journalist Geoff White set to find out. In doing so, over a period of several years, he uncovered a trail of criminal activity that included a bank heist, data leaks and money laundering.

On this episode, Geoff, whose new book The Lazarus Heist tells the story of what he discovered, explains how Geoff came to investigate the story, how he went about researching it and the lessons he\u2019s learned from doing so. We also examine some of the dynamics of the issues the story raises, including cybercrime, money laundering and electronic warfare.

It\u2019s an astonishing tale that has human risk all over it.
