Appearances
I mean, I specifically remember, actually, I think 2016, talking with a colleague.
He was very interested in crypto and Bitcoin.
He was trying to convince me and saying, well, the North Koreans are definitely going to use this.
And I just remember saying, this is so stupid.
You know, you can keep your funny money to yourself.
Like, I have no interest in this.
That was my attitude.
I was very resistant.
And even today, I do this because they do this.
I'm not in crypto because I love crypto.
I'm in crypto because North Koreans love crypto.
North Korea's first major foray into crypto was more armed robbery than heist.
WannaCry.
In May 2017, screens across the UK were seized with ransomware.
But this didn't just hurt personal computers, it paralyzed London hospitals.
Forty British hospitals would come under assault that day, and it didn't stop there.
I remember tracking WannaCry that day as it moved across Europe, through Asia.
It hit Russian railroads and banks, French automaker Renault, Indian Airlines, universities across China, Spain's telecom giant Telefonica,
In Japan, it hit Hitachi, Nissan, the Japanese police, a hospital in Taiwan, South Korean movie theaters, gas stations across China, FedEx.
One by one, these screens went red with a ransom note.
