**The Lazarus Heist** is a podcast and documentary series that delves into the 2014 hacking attack by North Korean cybercriminals, known as **Lazarus Group**, on Sony Pictures.

Great podcast and well up to BBC usual high standards. As noted by others though find the music mix very "jarring" at points, WAY too loud compared to the narrative and has you reaching for the volume control. However this is nitpicking in what is a meticulously researched and very well presented podcast.

Too bad major politicians or their families were not in those hospitals that day. Otherwise we would have scorch-earth-ed north korea by now.

**SPOILER** Incredible how very, very, close they came to getting away with such a massive hack, money stolen and out of the country. I'm still amazed that all their careful detailed planning was derailed by a simple street name. A single word basically rescued billions of dollars!!

Wow I have vague memories of this hack but had no idea about how extensive and devastating it was. Loving this podcast.
