The Lazarus Heist is the story of notorious hackers the Lazarus Group, who have been breaking in all over the world, in all sorts of places - movie companies, banks, TV stations, even hospitals. They’re dangerous because they’re unpredictable. You never know where they’ll strike next, and they don’t seem to care about getting found out.
There are lots of cyber crime gangs, of course, but according to investigators, the Lazarus Group is different - they’re working for a nation-state, North Korea. Pyongyang has denied it's involved.
The Lazarus Heist podcast is presented by cybercrime investigative journalist Geoff White and veteran foreign correspondent and renowned North Korea expert Jean Lee.
Podcast producer: Estelle Doyle

This is better than money heist series

[@TSquared2001]

This is crazy. It registers like white collar high-tech fiction. But that reality slap.........man

[@AbiodunSam]

This series is very interesting.

[@acho5424]

I must say hackers were very smart in choosing those developing countries to hack and launder money.

[@x-bebi8943]

thanks!

[@nishu413]

If large amount comes to my bank account.or even large amount is debited that could be online txn forget abt cash there are limits on withdrawal . My bank manager will call me for source / destination. of money before i can even touch them. Thats in india. Not even a developed country . Phillipines seems to not care to basic checks .

Quite disappointed not to see the bag stool mentioned at 23:15

[@grapesofwrath1984]

Haha. Nothing special. Just a beautiful stool.

[@conniekcchin]

Thanks for this informative series. BBC episode 7 @ 3min + 36min - man speaking in malay/Indonesian in manila??? It should be tagalog not malay/indonesian. A transmission error?

[@HellCatLeMaudit]

There are foreigners working in the casinos in Manila.

I wonder how much the bank manager’s family got?

[@swoondrones]

$250,000 for food and tske a eife shopping? Just don't gsmble and take her yourself! Gsmbling is so stupid.

[@Sofia-wx2ht]

Are these stories for real or am i lost??? Is this happening in our world as we speak?? Some one tell me...maya sentenced to 56yres and to pay 109million dollars??? Are these episodes real or its just a movie?

[@putsiktrussik6116]

Money gets laundered probably everyday everywhere, one or the other way. Even if this is made up, then similar exist. Not too long ago local banks had a scandal about 700mil laundered. And we are 1st world western country...

This story is so absolutely completely mental. Insanity. Truth is so much better than fiction.

[@ykjo5613]

Great and informative video. But to insist that ppl who "don't look the part" is such a peon's way of thinking. Not everyone who is wealthy flaunts it with diamond baubles, flashy cars and clothes.

[@marcikemers8414]

VIP Casino officer from the Philippines working in the Philippines not speaking TAGALOG/fILIPINO? come on @BBC you can do better

[@mnaeem4783]

it

[@joannemirvine08]

It is SO hard to understand what they are saying. Very frustrating.

[@swoondrones]

Are they laundering it? Why gamnle away the money? So stupid.

[@dakalodk]

they explined how it works . one wins one loses they break even and then they cash the chips

[@davidruiter6108]

Their goal is to break even +/- a bit. Once they cash out it’s “gambling winnings” and they have hidden the actual origin. The more layers of methods like these you add, the harder it becomes to find the true origin of the money🤷🏼‍♂️
