For the second episode of our brand new podcast series, Coppercasts, we’re joined by one of the tech industry’s most coveted technology journalists, Geoff White.

Geoff, who has worked as a journalist for over a decade, has a built a reputation on sound investigative journalism covered by BBC News, Channel 4 News, Audible, Forbes online and many others.

CopperCasts are split into two parts. The first is a short (2min) video in which our guest shares with us something they find unusual or inspiring about the digital asset space. The second half is a traditional audio-only podcast, which you can stream at the bottom of this page, or search for it in iTunes.

In his Show & Tell segment, Geoff explores the correlation between ransomeware attacks and the global Covid-19 pandemic.

In our longer conversation, he talks through the sinister history of cyber crime, what motivates it, and how you as an individual can protect yourself from it. He also discusses his interest in Bitcoin and where he sees the industry going.

You can follow Geoff on Twitter, and you can buy his best selling new book Crime Dot Com, from Amazon.
