Hi, I'm Jack Recyder, host of the show.

Back in 2018, an interesting cyber attack took place.

So one of the things Sophos wanted Andrew to do was research novel threats and write about them on their newly established Sophos blog.

So he's like, okay, fine, send me what you got.

Let me research it and I'll write about it.

It started with a TV set.

Oof.

The attackers got access to the source code.

But why?

Was this an insider trying to seek revenge?

Were they stealing it in hopes to sell it to someone?

Did they steal it so that they could copy the product and steal their intellectual property?

At the time, nobody knew what their motive was.

These are true stories from the dark side of the internet.

I'm Jack Recider.

This is Darknet Diaries.

This episode is sponsored by ThreatLocker.

If you've listened to Darknet Diaries for a while, you've already heard of ThreatLocker.

I've talked about how they lock environments down, deny by default, zero trust, all of it.

But the problem they were solving changed because attackers changed.
