  • Love this podcast….although

    Hats off to Jordan and Scott , this is one of those podcasts that Im constantly checking to see if they have a new episode out. I only found it in late oct 25

    I’ve just finished listening to every episode since day one ( and have even listened to some favs multiple times)

    I know nothing about cyber security but I find the stories and incidents really interesting. The show has evolved since the beginning.

    My only criticism would be the quality and quantity of paid sponsorship ads.

  • Quality has dropped

    Guys I love your podcast. It’s really good when you put time and effort in to telling a well crafted and edited story. But lately the quality has really fallen off.

You need both members present (I know Scott is ill at the moment & can’t help being there) as when it’s just Jordan he really needs the support of some... more

  • Great Hooks. Lacks Depth and Insight

    I first came across Hacked through their episode The Red Teamer, which was fantastic. The guest, a red teamer turned entrepreneur, shared insightful experiences from the industry and discussed the shift toward identity-based security. As a security professional, I found it fascinating to hear about real-world vulnerabilities and how attacks have evolved over time. This episode had depth, a great guest, and valuable takeaways—exactly what I was looking for.

    Encouraged by that episode, I started ... more
