  I'll take it - It's pretty short but its high quality and ready, how about 15k LTBc? I'd like to include it on Tuesdays episode 127

  Good interview. There are some incredible social engineering hackers out there pulling off some incredible feats. Illegal but still creative.

  yes I agree. these attacks are getting very sophisticated and everyone in the Bitcoin space are on their target lists. major learnings here for me:

  • be super cautious of any links that people send to you.
  • 2FA
  • good to see Entrepreneurs being transparent and sharing these things now.
  • good to see Sam blaming is own internal procedures rather than the Marshall's office or the Bitcoin protocol (as Magical Tux did)
