Same Show, New Home — UnHack Moves to 229 May 15th
<p><strong>May 15, 2026: </strong>Big news from Drex DeFord, starting May 15th, UnHack the Podcast and the Two-Minute Drill are moving to the 229 Project Podcast Channel. Same show, same mission, same Drex — just one unified home alongside Bill Russell and Sarah Richardson.

How North Korea's Fake Company Compromised Millions | 2 Minute Drill with Drex DeFord
<p>North Korean threat actors didn't breach a firewall. They built a fake company. UNC1069 spent two weeks constructing a convincing Slack workspace, fake team members, and LinkedIn profiles to earn the trust of Jason Seaman -- lead maintainer of Axios, a JavaScript library downloaded over 100 million times a week. One Teams call. One file. Within hours, malicious code was live and reaching health systems everywhere. The attack skipped the $50M security stack entirely and went straight to the human. Drex breaks down what happened, why it worked, and asks the question every health IT leader needs to answer: have you mapped who in your organization carries that kind of leverage?</p><p>Remember, Stay a Little Paranoid</p><p><u><a href="https://twitter.com/thisweekhealth" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">X: This Week Health </a></u></p><p><u><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/ThisWeekHealth" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn: This Week Health</a> </u></p><p><u><a href="https://www.alexslemonade.org/mypage/3173454" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Donate: Alex’s Lemonade Stand: Foundation for Childhood Cancer</a></u> </p>
