012.1: WANNACRY
<p>On May 12, 2017, a piece of code quietly executed somewhere in Asia and within hours had locked computers across 150 countries. WannaCry wasn't just a ransomware attack — it was the collision of an NSA cyber weapon, a mysterious group of leakers, a sanctioned rogue nation, and a 22-year-old malware analyst working from his bedroom. In this episode, explore the full WannaCry story — the technical execution, the geopolitical chain of custody, the chaos it caused, and the harder questions nobody fully answered: Should the NSA have disclosed the vulnerability? Was this North Korea's best effort or a mistake that escaped? And what does it mean when the most dangerous cyber weapon in history gets stopped by a $10 domain registration?</p><p><strong>Call to Action:</strong></p><p>* Subscribe to the podcast for more
