The Cryptographers
Manage episode 521128196 series 2776266
In 2012, a corner of the internet was lit ablaze by a series of puzzles and codes… posted by a mysterious entity with an unclear agenda. What was Cicada 3301, and what were they recruiting for? And why, so many years later, do we seem to have less information than we started with? This episode was originally released as Premium Episode 62.
