In Episode 330, we dive deep into the world of blockchain security with Yev Broshevan, Co-Founder and Chief Business Development Officer at Hacken — a global leader in Web3 cybersecurity and auditing. From massive exploits like the $1.5B Bybit incident to the implosion of FTX, the decentralized world has witnessed some of the most high-profile security failures in digital history. Yev walks us through what really went wrong in these cases — and what must change to prevent history from repeating itself.
We explore how today’s most pressing cybersecurity threats in blockchain differ from traditional Web2 challenges like ransomware and data breaches, and what enterprises need to understand before venturing into decentralized technologies. Yev also sheds light on the underground world of Web3 attackers — from lone actors to sophisticated nation-state groups like Lazarus — and breaks down how new regulations like MiCA and DORA could reshape the future of crypto compliance, risk management, and trust. If your organization is building in Web3 or just starting to explore blockchain, this episode is essential listening.
