For the 238th<\/sup> episode of the Transatlantic Cable<\/a>, Dave, Jeff and Ahmed peruse some of the more interesting cyber-related stories of the week. They start by looking at a light-hearted story around Facebook\u2019s metaverse, weddings and Covid.<\/p>\n

From there, they focus on two cryptocurrency stories. The first one looks at a notorious influencer who allegedly scammed his followers out of $500,000 via a rug-pull, and now won\u2019t return the funds. The second story is perhaps a little more light-hearted as it looks at recent research that suggests having \u2018crypto\u2019 or \u2018NFT\u2019 in your dating profile gives you the edge in the dating scene \u2013 call me sceptical on this one.<\/p>\n

The last two stories look at North Korea. The first is an interview with an alleged hacker who says they took down North Korea\u2019s internet (all of it); and the second, from the BBC, looks at a UN report suggesting the Democratic People\u2019s Republic of Korea (DPRK) is using stolen crypto to fund their nuclear missile program.<\/p>\n
