Whale Hunting

From 404 Media: The ‘Com World War’


Listen Later

Thanks for listening to season one of Whale Hunting! The podcast will be back very soon with brand new episodes on everything from President Xi of China to corporate lobbying in Washington, Furry subculture, female Narco bosses, and much more. 

In the meantime, we wanted to share an episode from one of our favourite shows: the 404 Media podcast. The team at 404 Media report from the frontier of tech, covering everything from hacking to AI, surveillance and cybercrime – and their weekly podcast is a great way to catch up on their new stories. In this episode, 404 journalist Joseph Cox shares his latest investigation into the Com, the nebulous online entity and culture that is linked to some of the most high profile and brazen data breaches in recent history. Joseph sat in their chatrooms while rival hackers and criminals doxed and physically robbed one another. You’ll also hear from 404’s Jason Koebler as he breaks down why some researchers are calling out Google on some of its AI science research. Enjoy!
