In this video, Geoff White, host of BBC Podcast 'Lazarus Heist', dives into the shocking story of the Lazarus Heist — one of the most infamous cybercrime operations in the world. North Korea’s state-backed hackers have allegedly stolen billions of dollars through highly sophisticated attacks on banks, cryptocurrency firms, gaming platforms, and financial institutions worldwide.From the infamous 2016 Bangladesh Bank hack, where hackers attempted to steal $1 billion and successfully got away with $80 million, to the Cosmos Cooperative Bank ATM heist in India, which led to a $12 million loss, these operations reveal just how advanced and calculated North Korea’s cyber strategies are.The conversation also explores how the Lazarus Group shifted focus toward cryptocurrency and gaming platforms, leading to one of the biggest hacks in history — the Axie Infinity breach in 2022, where $625 million was stolen through blockchain vulnerabilities. With the rise of digital finance, crypto exchanges and gaming ecosystems have become prime targets for global cybercriminals.We also discuss how these hackers launder stolen money through underground networks, shell companies, and poorly regulated sectors, making their financial trails nearly impossible to track. This video unpacks the motives, methods, and global impact of North Korea’s state-sponsored cybercrime machine.If you’re interested in cybersecurity, cryptocurrency, or digital warfare, this is a must-watch.Watch Full Episode: https://youtu.be/66u1zeJVKLI
