Geoff White

As one of the world’s leading journalists covering organised crime and tech, Geoff White has spent decades investigating the shadowy forces of fraudsters, hackers and money launderers for some of the most high-profile media outlets, including the BBC, Sky and The Sunday Times. He is a highly experienced story teller whose insights – delivered in compelling, edge-of-your-seat narratives – have gripped audiences of millions and will help keep your organisation, your employees and your customers safe.

He has given more than 300 keynote talks in more than a dozen countries for some of the biggest global brands, including Microsoft, HSBC, Sky, Mastercard and Atos.

His books have sold more than 40,000 copies. His latest book, Rinsed, reveals how tech has revolutionised the world of money laundering and was published by Penguin Random House in 2024.

His previous book, The Lazarus Heist was published by Penguin Random House in June 2022 and was adapted from the hit BBC World Service podcast, which he created and co-presented, and which gained more than 10 million listens over two series.

Geoff’s first book, Crime Dot Com, took readers inside the murky world of the digital underground, uncovering cybercrime’s emergence as today’s global threat. It was published in August 2020 by Reaktion Books and was One of Wired’s Most Fascinating Books Read in 2020.

He has written and presented two major podcast series for Audible. The Dark Web exposed the shadow internet created by the US military and now home to hackers, crooks and freedom fighters.

It has been a top ten hit on the platform since its launch in 2017. Artificial Intelligence: Friend or Foe? revealed the origins of AI, and showed how the technology is seeping into everyday life.

Geoff’s own podcast series Cybercrime Investigations took listeners inside the world of an investigative journalist, detailing the twists and turns as the story unfolds.

He was also the co-creator of The Secret Life of Your Mobile Phone, a live, interactive phone hacking stage performance which showed how the global technology industry is harvesting the data leaking from your handset. The show was a sell–out hit at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2017, and has been performed at music festivals, political conferences and for corporate clients.

As the technology correspondent for Channel 4 News, one of the UK’s leading daily news programmes, Geoff won multiple awards for his work on the Snowden leaks, the hacking of Britain’s largest ISP TalkTalk and his exposés of fraud in the internet dating industry. He was the creator of the programme’s Data Baby project, a unique experiment which used a fictional online persona to expose how personal data is used – and abused – online.
