Monty Munford: How I lost £25,000 in crypto with one bad security decision

How safe is your crypto really? And what happens when your private keys fall into the wrong hands? Journalist and crypto commentator Monty Munford joins Adrian on this week’s episode of the Big Tech Show. Adrian and Monty talk about how he first got into cryptocurrency, why he chose Ethereum over Bitcoin, and the moment he discovered £25,000 worth of crypto had vanished from his wallet. Monty explains the mistakes he made storing his private keys, how hackers may have accessed them, and what the loss taught him about online security. They also discuss how that stolen crypto would be worth far more today — and why his story is a cautionary tale for anyone dabbling in digital assets. You can listen to the full episode here, on the Irish Independent website or wherever you get your podcasts. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nuacht Gaeilge ar an BBC in Albain – ach cá bhfuil nuacht Gaeilge an BBC sa Tuaisceart?

De réir an daonáirimh is déanaí, tá eolas éigin ag 130,000 duine ar an nGaeilge in Albain ach i dTuaisceart na hÉireann, tá fios éigin ag beagnach 100,000 duine sa bhreis ar sin ar an teanga - 228,617. Tá i bhfad níos mó Gaeilge ar an BBC in Albain ná mar atá ná mar atá ó thuaidh áfach. Tá idirdhealú soiléir ann, mar sin féin, agus is beag gearán a dhéanann Gaeilgeoirí faoin cheist – cad chuige sin???
