Geoff White biography
Speaker Geoff White is one of the most influential investigative journalists working at the intersection of technology, organized crime, and cybersecurity. Over a career spanning more than two decades, he has reported for Channel 4 News, the BBC, Audible, Sky News, The Sunday Times, and Penguin, breaking stories on everything from billion-dollar cyber heists to global money laundering networks and the dark web. His reporting has earned multiple journalism awards, including recognition for his coverage of the Snowden leaks, the TalkTalk breach, and fraud in the online dating industry.
White is the author of three landmark books at the intersection of crime and technology. Crime Dot Com explored how state actors and criminal syndicates weaponized the internet. The Lazarus Heist, adapted from his hit BBC World Service podcast of the same name, exposed North Korea’s cyber war against governments, banks, and Hollywood. His latest book, Rinsed: From Cartels to Crypto, investigates how technology has revolutionized money laundering for the world’s deadliest criminal organizations.
From Investigations to the Stage
His podcasts have generated more than ten million downloads worldwide. The Lazarus Heist, co-presented with Korea expert Jean Lee, was nominated for a Peabody Award and a Rose d’Or. The Dark Web podcast, exposing the shadow internet built by the US military, has been a top-ten hit since launch. His independent series Cybercrime Investigations takes audiences inside live reporting on financial fraud, cryptocurrency theft, and organized digital crime. He has also co-created the live performance The Secret Life of Your Mobile Phone, a stage demonstration of how companies harvest personal data, and ran the Data Baby project to expose data abuse online.
As a speaker, Geoff White brings the urgency of frontline reporting and the clarity of a master storyteller to corporate audiences. He helps boards, security leaders, and risk teams understand what cybercriminals actually do, how illicit money moves through fintech and crypto rails, and what enterprises should learn from real attacks. Book Geoff White through Aurum Speakers Bureau to bring a voice trusted by editors, regulators, and law enforcement to your next conference, and explore cybersecurity through the eyes of a journalist who has spent two decades inside it.

Geoff White - How to Steal a Billion Dollars
Geoff White on Lessons Learned from Most Recent Cybercrime Investigations
Geoff White Keynote Topics
Geoff White's latest investigation exposes how cartels, state actors, and online fraud rings now wash hundreds of billions of dollars through cryptocurrency exchanges, fintech apps, and social media. In this keynote, White traces real cases from Latin American narco networks to Telegram-based money mule operations, showing how payments innovation has handed organized crime its biggest upgrade in a generation, and what financial institutions and tech platforms can do about it.
Pyongyang's hackers have stolen billions from banks, crypto exchanges, and Hollywood studios while threatening democracies and silencing critics. Drawing on years of original reporting that took him from Dhaka to Hollywood to Macau, White unpacks how the Lazarus Group operates, how they launder their proceeds, and what their playbook tells us about the future of state-sponsored cybercrime — for any organization that holds money or sensitive data.
Cyber heists have moved from individual hackers in basements to industrial-scale operations rivaling Fortune 500 companies. White takes audiences inside ransomware crews, phishing networks, and credential-theft markets, illustrating with case studies from his Channel 4 and BBC investigations how criminals find their way in — and where defenders consistently underestimate them. The talk arms decision-makers with the threat models they need to brief their boards.
Most cybersecurity briefings drown executives in jargon and statistics. As an investigative journalist, Geoff White does the opposite: he turns the most important breaches, scams, and cybercrime trends into clear narratives that resonate at the board level. This talk is custom-built for executive offsites, audit committees, and risk events that need cybersecurity to land — not just be presented.
