To Catch A Hacker is an audio series about cybercrime, what really happens, how we find the people behind the crimes, and how they are brought to justice. Each season follows the story of a cybercrime and tracks the case until it is solved. But these cases are the success stories. We know one in four American households are victimized by cybercrime. Most never report what happened to the police. Of the tiny fraction that ARE reported, only 3 in 1000 incidents ever see an arrest. This makes cybercrime the most prevalent form of crime in America, with the lowest enforcement rate. In looking at the solved cases, we’ll see where we’re falling short in addressing the realities of cybercrime and why catching the cyber criminal is so rare.
Host Mieke Eoyang is the former Senior Vice President for Third Way's National Security Program. She's committed to closing the credibility gap between Democrats and Republicans on security issues and crafting a national security strategy that is both tough and smart. Mieke has worked on every major national security issue—from foreign policy to cybercrime to impeachment—while still making time to mentor the next generation of women in national security.

TRAILER: To Catch A Hacker Season 2, RazzleCON
This season, we’re telling the story behind the largest financial seizure ever in history. $3.6 billion dollars’ worth of laundered Bitcoin.
This is the story about the crime, and the people behind it. It’s also a love story. A cringe rap music video. And, a map to the unregulated gray space of a new type of money.

On Sunday, January 12, 2017, an officer of the Metropolitan Police Department, the law enforcement agency of Washington, DC, made an urgent phone call to the U.S. Secret Service. The MPD officer had discovered that some of the public surveillance cameras used by MPD had been compromised and were no longer feeding surveillance video to the Command Center.

Customer Reviews
Mieke is super brilliant and talented
It’s always charming to come across a particularly thought-provoking guest on a podcast - I’ve been a fan of Mieke’s guest spots on trumpcast and Lawfare and deep state radio - but her talents in national security, cyber security and narrative story telling are awesomely knit together in this new amazing podcast. I’m fairly addicted after just binging the first two episodes. I gave up true crime type serials years ago (just too heavy and too dark) but to catch a hacker is all the intrigue of a crime mystery, cat-and-mouse style, international “whodunnit” without the scary (scarier) stuff. Def recommended.
Interesting and entertaining!
As a digital forensic science grad student, I find this podcast so interesting and I’m excited for more! It’s informative, entertaining, and has great production! 👍🏻
Can’t wait for the next episode!
Just listened to the first episode, and I’m riveted! Can’t wait for more. This is a great combination of true crime and Designated Survivor. A compelling and true national security narrative. Super excited for the whole series!
