Jack Rhysider is simply the best storyteller I've ever come across. He's super insightful himself, but lends such a great perspective and conveyance of these stories. I'm someone who has been in the hacker community since '93. I've always wanted to hear retellings of some of the stories that were legendary in the community in a clean and well rounded way like Jack manages to pull off in literally every episode. A+ content, Jack.

So Glad to Find This on Audible

How he gets to interview all these guests is baffling to me. They literally brag about crimes that they've committed and he fact checks all the claims they make.

Really informative and entertaining check it out

This was a very good podcast. interesting take on Revil. allegedly emphasizing allegedly they were reactivated according to the Australian mainstream media over the Medibank hack, even though Russia shared videos of all the FSB raids on them in order to justify offensive cyber crimes greenlighted by government actors in a new offensive cyber bill. No proof it's Revil source code and new keys on the darknet website. Also interesting Aussie Cossacks walking into Medibank on YouTube and contributing $2 for his share of the randsom was shared by the alleged Revil spinoff new happy blog but was kept out of the MSM because he's camped out in the Russian consulate in Australia. I too like the host of this fine podcast can post conspiracy theories about Revil.

ASIS brought back Revil to justify offensive cyber
