Based on the No 1 hit podcast 'The Lazarus Heist'

Meet the Lazarus Group, a shadowy cabal of hackers accused of working on behalf of the North Korean state. It's claimed that they form one of the most dangerous criminal enterprises on the planet, having stolen more than $1bn in an international crime spree. Their targets allegedly include central banks, Hollywood film studios and even the British National Health Service. North Korea denies the allegations, saying the accusations are American attempts to tarnish its image.

In this staggering, global investigation, award-winning journalist Geoff White examines how the hackers have harnessed cutting-edge technology to launch a decade-long campaign of brazen and merciless raids on its richer, more powerful adversaries. It's not just money they're after. The Lazarus Group's tactics have been used to threaten democracies, gag North Korea's critics and destabilize global peace.

From the bustling streets of Dhaka, to the glamorous studios of Hollywood, to the glittering casinos of Macau and the secretive dynastic court of Pyongyang, this shocking story uncovers the secret world of the Lazarus Group, their victims and the people who have tried—and ultimately, so far failed—to stop them.

Interesting insight

I’ve never heard of these stories and this book presents it in a great way

author reads the book

great book. my preference is when the author reads the book. great all around.

Summary of a podcast

While info was good, this is just a summary of his podcast. feel a bit cheated as the podcast is free.

Fascinating reporting on Norks (DPRK intel) criminal enterprises

Very thorough reporting written in a style that made the potentially dry historic examination of North Korea’s intelligence agencies rather exciting and easy to read. Will listen to it more than once.

True Crime - Mission Impossible Style

I gained a substantial amount of information and yet had a great time all doing it. Espionage, hacking, international crime, everything you could want in a book.

Great audio!

Good audio overall about cyber security, banks, crypto, and the Lazarus group. Tone and pace were on point.

Fantastic book

Great research and scary how a simple click on a seemingly innocent email can wreak havoc!!

powerful insight into the world of cybercrime

a must listen for anyone involved in cyber security to understand some of the tactics used by cyber criminals and the details of how they operate. also a very in depth analysis of the bank of Bangladesh heist which anyone involved or working with the SWIFT platform should appreciate.

fascinating but confusing

The subject matter was fascinating, but the story was very complicated and the presentation did not make it easy to follow.

Had not heard podcast

Great to have the passion of author for subject come thru as the narrator for this fascinating topic.
