Season 1, Episode 27, Sep 29, 2021, 08:21 PM

*ep starts around 40 mins

In the world of hacking and malware, there is no entity more infamous than Evil Corp. They are almost single-handedly responsible for creating the environment surrounding cybercrime today, and this brainchild of Maxim Yakubets and Igor Turashev has collected hundreds of millions of dollars from its victims. They are untouchable, untraceable, and their malware is so impossibly hard to detect that it can infect an entire network of computers before ever being noticed.

Guest J.F. Harris has been seen on The Late Late Show, Bill Burr’s The Ringers on Comedy Central and has written for big stars like Will Smith and shows like Netflix’s Magic For Humans. His first hour special People Make Mistakes drops later this year!
