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.
