Månskott is a Swedish documentary-style tech podcast that explores big visions in the tech world alongside their darker consequences, such as cyber attacks, scams, and digital vulnerabilities. It mixes narrative storytelling with expert commentary to unpack how technology shapes society - often in unexpected or risky ways.

In this episode about Carbanak, the story focuses on what became one of the biggest digital bank heists in history. It begins with a late-summer 2014 alert to an investigator at the cybersecurity firm Kaspersky about a suspicious intrusion in a major Russian bank’s network. The episode traces how the Carbanak malware was used to infiltrate financial systems around the world, quietly siphoning huge sums of money from institutions. Björn Weigel, entrepreneur and author, contributes context and analysis on the cyber-crime techniques, the global impact of the breach, and what it reveals about the challenges of defending against sophisticated digital threats.
