Despite sanctions and closed borders, money and materials for Kim Jong-un’s nuclear weapons programme are still finding their way into North Korea, aided by hackers. Where could it lead?
The hackers are back. In fact, the cyber criminals never went away. The Lazarus Heist Season 2 tells the story of the theft of billions of dollars around the globe. Investigators say a secretive, elite North Korean hacking ring is responsible. Nicknamed the Lazarus Group, it’s claimed they are becoming more ambitious, more audacious and more successful. North Korea says it has nothing to do with these cybercrimes, saying the United States is making these allegations to try and tarnish its image.
The Lazarus Heist podcast is presented by cybercrime investigative journalist Geoff White and veteran foreign correspondent and renowned North Korea expert Jean Lee.

Great work!! This series is really amazing. Can't wait seeing the season 3.

[@haileene703]

Your serie is amazing. That's how journalism should be, serious and not just for the clicks. And unfortunately, we can see from the view numbers how good journalism is treated. Way too low key visibility.

[@Yotrek]

Excellent investigative journalism. Thank you. I’m conflicted. This podcast is a rare example of simultaneously wanting a season three and not wanting a season three.

[@lucasdashcam2925]

Learnt a lot listening to the series, great work. season 3 please

[@bosvigos9165]

This is truly one of the most riveting series. Thank you one and all, such tremendous research and presentation.

[@Steven-creatives]

[@BBCWorldService]

This is the last episode of the series (fingers crossed for season 3!) Have you watched Bad Cops - another true crime podcast: kzbin.info/aero/PLz_B0PFGIn4cTxsknwvTYZPlpSOl0zApl

[@ZYau-lc5ql]

I really like to watch BBC programme. I am attracted by its imagination😆

[@DC-zi6se]

North Korea is an absolute hell to live in. But the fact that they managed to make ICBMs. That's if not "praiseworthy" definitely commendable.

[@zapfanzapfan]

Good drone shots of the missile test!

[@fraumahler5934]

Excellent reporting

[@nickjoslin1466]

The ending is fascinating. Just shows, we're all human!

[@Vetsolo]

Always a delight to listen 👂

[@cherylerome-beatty4677]

Amazing info!

[@zaire2400]

I get excited every time i see a new episode.

[@chikachika5361]

Does this episode end finally? I cannot accept this fact. The BBC should be able to create the next episode. 🎉

[@lopsangngodupbhutia1053]

Like US and other powers, North Korea has full right to build nuclear arsenal to defend itself from US and it's subjected states. As we know, US and his allies are bend on waging war to subjugate North, it's very existence. If some have right, why can't others have right.

[@akhyer1500]

If there was anything more annoying than a baby crying in an 8 hour flight sitting next to you, is the audio theme of this podcast 😖

[@jamesbondino2575]

[@felipecool598]

Why the square spiral thing?

[@user-rh6ru5oz2o]

An intelligence test to determine who is too dumb to figure out what a podcast is

[@justjackman]

[@Andrew-yg1sr]

We gave it to them now you made a monster 💩 and good luck this man is nuts

[@campsitez2355]

[@jamesbondino2575]

How do we hack North Koreas net or the hacker hotel in china

[@jamesrobert4106]

Melissa's greatest skill is managing to get paid for common sense. The privilege is extraordinary.

[@SenzoXaba]

Go Kim Go!!!😂

[@user-xr6bm2cu8c]

This is crap.

[@dalmarcadde1507]

This is the worst documentry, no video no photo all talk. This should be on radio not tv period

[@user-rh6ru5oz2o]

You should get some picture books. They are more your level

[@HoudiniX9]

⁠@@user-rh6ru5oz2o😂😂😂 ikr he should

[@caseyjones6245]

Someone needs to go away and look up the definition of a podcast before making useless negative comments

[@idrisali6854]

The BBC World service is actually a radio station 😂😂😂
