After Bitcoin: rules in the world of blockchains and tokens

For some time now, the big star in the crypto token world – Bitcoin – has had to share attention with other blockchain applications. It is not only receiving competition from alternative cryptocurrencies – the possible applications that blockchain technologies are expected to offer are diverse and the interest is great, although German private law does not yet know any categories for the “token” – the object that is created as a blockchain.

Sebastian Omlor teaches and researches at Philipps University in Marburg. The legal scholar and financial expert deals with the problem of establishing legal certainty for blockchain applications. In this episode of Digitalgespräch, he explains the concept of blockchain, what causes its appeal – and what might give the impression that it could replace jurisprudence in certain areas. With hosts Marlene Görger and Petra Gehring, he takes a look at the future of blockchain and discusses why despite its sophisticated technology it is worth creating well-made laws for it.

Emotet & co: the fight against cybercrime

Hardly a week goes by without reports about cyber attacks in the news. These much-noticed hacks often affect companies and government institutions, but private individuals are also the targets of criminal hackers. Most of the time, it’s simply about money; cybercrime has come to be a business model. Linda Bertram is a public prosecutor at the Center for Combatting Cybercrime (ZIT). She and her team hunt down such groups and are just as internationally networked as the hackers they pursue. In this podcast, she talks to Hosts Marlene Görger and Petra Gehring about the major strike against the group behind Emotet, the “king of malware,” which succeeded in early 2021 and caused quite a stir. Bertram explains what cybercrime is, how investigators tackle it and how individuals can protect themselves. This episode of Digitalgespräch also asks what considerations the rule of law requires of investigative teams and what limits it sets for them.
