About this episode
North Koreas hackers are exploiting crypto for billions, turning it into their main cash lifeline due to brutal sanctions. Unlike other nations, they dont use crypto as a sneaky payment tool, but treat the entire ecosystem as a giant ATM. They build fake identities and cozy up for months, targeting engineers and founders with the keys to the kingdom. Once a transaction hits the blockchain, its done, making crypto perfect for them. This sets North Korea apart as cryptos top threat, demanding better defenses across the board. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
