Show Notes

In this episode, we spend way too much time discussing a specious article about how state sanctioned criminals don't actually present any unique methods of disruption, and then hop skip and jump to Lapsus$ for a few minutes.

This one ran too long, both for the State Sanctioned, and the hack on Axie Infinity (coming next week!) so we broke it into two episodes.
