Srsly Risky Biz: Being a North Korean hacker is about to be less fun

Tom Uren and James Wilson discuss North Korea's loss of control over portions of its hacker workforce and anticipated tightening of state oversight, which could reduce ransomware operations. The episode also covers escalating attacks on American water infrastructure, which remain limited in impact while the US government response has lagged.

Why it matters: Water utility operators and critical infrastructure defenders need to monitor for North Korean threat activity shifts as operational changes occur, and federal agencies should accelerate response protocols to emerging water sector threats.
