In this episode: our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Geoff White, investigative journalist, to reveal: The dark secrets of North Korea's cyber army.

The pair discuss explore the inner workings of the elite North Korean hackers – known as Lazarus Group – and their staggering theft of billions of dollars through cyberattacks.

Geoff reveals how the North Korean state gains from these illegal activities and evade sanctions.
