TL;DW Post-9/11 the NSA/CIA were like “let us help you with your cyber security while you host this global sporting event” and after the Olympics they pinky sweared to switch it off but the US spies dug deep (presumably with the cooperation of the Greek government, yet in contrevention of Greek law) and turned it back on the very next day, and there was this one guy who worked for the main telecom company and basically knew everything (he was most likely the one who installed the exploit across the network) and then he mysteriously died.
That’s where I heard it, I find they have lost a lot of depth in more recent episodes and I think the presenter is a little sheltered and innocent. He made a strange comment about what his homeless cousin is probably doing for money on a recent episode.
There was a Darknet Diaries episode on this: https://darknetdiaries.com/transcript/64/
