Most people remember that attack.
But as I kind of say in the podcast, few people remember it for what it actually was, because most people remember the leaks and sort of the absurdity of all arguments between the studio heads over stupid things.
Yes.
It decimated 70% of Sony's server capacity.
No one could get on email.
No one could get on their devices.
People were using fax machines, pen and paper.
It was hugely destructive.
And what the North Koreans learned from that attack is, okay, we can do this.
We can get into an organization with social engineering.
We can basically map their network, find the crown jewels, and then we can decide what to do with those crown jewels for maximum impact.
In this case, it was to embarrass Sony and keep them from releasing this ridiculous movie.
Yeah.
Yes.
The interview with Seth Rogen, which depicted the assassination of Kim Jong-un.
So right after Sony, we saw them basically take those same capabilities and deploy them against banks.
And we saw them go after one bank in particular, the Bank of Bangladesh, and they were able to, using social engineering for the most part,
get into the bank's connection to something called SWIFT, which is essentially like a messaging protocol.
So if you, Cara, want to send me $10,000, you know, the bank says, okay, send $10,000 from Cara's account here over to Nicole's account here.
They were able to manipulate it to essentially get $81 million out of the New York Fed.
