This week, we’re exploring North Korea’s involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war and how they’re funding its military ambitions. With reports of the DPRK sending 1,500 troops to aid Russia, alongside a lucrative weapons trade, we dig into how a heavily sanctioned nation has managed to keep its missile and nuclear programs afloat. The secret lies in the dark world of cryptocurrency theft and hacking, where North Korea has become a leading player. It all started in Hollywood with a little hack and a dream to destroy the 2014 film “The Interview.” And by “little hack,” we mean huge. We talk all about the Sony hack and explain how the DPRK has stolen billions through sophisticated crypto scams, from exploiting LinkedIn phishing schemes to hacking blockchain companies like Sky Mavis, the creators of Axie Infinity, to fund around 50% of its ballistic missile program. Tune in to find out how North Korea’s cyberattacks translate to military power and what it means for global security.
