To start off this week\u2019s episode of the Kaspersky Transatlantic Cable<\/em> podcast<\/a>, Ahmed, Dave, and I talk cryptocurrency. Unlike most of our chats on the digital currency, we focus 146% on the criminal aspect of it.<\/p>\n

More accurately, our conversation centers on a new report of the nearly $400 million North Korea is alleged to have stolen in the past year. We have some fun going through the report, but we also discuss its implications.<\/p>\n

Staying in the world of cybercrime, we then discuss the further-ranging implications of an FBI honeypot operation that involved rather more \u201canonymous\u201d phones than initially reported.<\/p>\n

Our third story heads over to Eastern Europe, where Russia\u2019s FSB (\u0424\u0421\u0411) has arrested members of the REvil gang after getting good intel from the FBI. This story has been a long-time coming but is also somehow surprising.<\/p>\n

We then head to a weird story that might as well have come from The Quibbler.<\/em> A lawsuit claims that Facebook, being free, is a monopoly. Of all the things to sue Facebook over! Ahmed and I have a bit of fun at David\u2019s expense with this story. We close out the podcast with a pair of stories discussing some more bad news for the world of NFTs.<\/p>\n
