Stolen: A Podcast with Erin West

Stolen is a weekly podcast where we uncover the hidden world of transnational digital crime. Join host Erin West — prosecutor, cybercrime investigator, global keynote speaker, and your guide into the dark corners of the internet.

Each week, we’ll hear from law enforcement, cybersecurity experts, and the victims who’ve lived it. Erin will investigate the global rise of digital crime — scams, cyber cartels, and other forms of online exploitation — and the people caught in the crossfire. These are the voices behind the headlines and the crimes that cross borders and boundaries.
