Darknet Diaries is a podcast by a cybersecurity professional telling true stories of hackers, breaches, and cyber crime.
Commenters repeatedly name it a favorite podcast, call it a crash course in learning from security failures, and suggest starting from episode one.
I think they do, at least in part: They directly discuss how the price of their insurance policy changed following the event:
> WENDY: I emailed our agent this morning because I hadn't heard anything. Knowing that we are - ah, AIG quoted the renewal with limits with a 66 percent increase and increased the retention from 10,000 to 25,000. Ew, that's the deductible.
> TEMPLE-RASTON: Increasing your premium by 66 percent and more than doubling your deductible - that motivates change.
[...]
> DUFFIN: Wendy was able to convince a new insurance company that her new training program actually worked. She got a new policy with more coverage, but for less money.
Exact costs for the policy, prior remediation, and the training program are not disclosed, but I wouldn't necessarily expect those to be shared publicly anyway.
But this is all subjective -- I enjoyed it and found it a worthwhile listen while prepping dinner tonight. I'll be sure to check out Darknet Diaries (https://darknetdiaries.com/) as well, thanks for the recommendation!
Honestly, join these groups and read what they talk about on the forum. Look up what the bigger fraud marketplaces are. Go on tor and read stuff in the dark net markets. All of them more or less talk about methods they're using and they help each other out. This type of stuff ranges from low level script kiddie (copy cat) people to high-level hackers that develop their own methods, search out vulnerabilities and so on.
A good podcast I would recommend is called dark net diaries. They have lots of episodes on cryber crime. Episode 32 specifically talks about carding and how the secret service took down a guy who acquires the credit card numbers. Most of it involves putting malware on point of sale machines or hacking companies.

There's a box being sold called "SuperBox". It claims to be able to stream any movie/video. The claim is "just pay $300 and you won't need to subscribe to any streaming service anymore." However, part of what it does is hacks your home network and tries to take over every thing on that network. And it sends this all back to China. The vast majority of people buying & installing these are just ordinary people but some will be executives, or people working for the feds. Did they bring their work laptop home and plug it in to their network? So it can get attacked outside the office firewall? Remember how stuxnet was spread?

And this is just scratching the surface. There's some GREAT stuff.
I just recently listened to 2 great of Darknet Diaries covered Citizenlab, NSO, and Pegasus.
https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/99/
https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/100/
The gist is that the NSO group is a company that sells malware which they claim is only ever used to catch bad guys, but the podcast makes a pretty compelling case that they know that repressive governments and even companies use it to target journalists and activists.
