The DAO Attack Explained! [VIDEO PODCAST]

The DAO attack is a piece of blockchain history that you probably want to know.  On the 17th of June, 2016, an unknown attacker started syphoning out thousands of dollars worth of ETH every second out of "The DAO".  The attacker managed to take 3.5 ETH (back then worth ~$50m), which eventually pressured the lead Ethereum community to hard fork the Ethereum blockchain on July 20, 2016.
