Episode 140 - Harmony blockchain bridge suffers 100 million dollar hack and other morning tangents

Good morning!  As I meander around on my morning news dump, I talk about the recent Harmony Horizon Bridge hack of over $100 million.  The hack was not a smart contract exploit, but instead, was an exploit of the private keys of a multisig wallet.  I explore this hack and talk about foundational crypto concepts along the way.
