i can't remember passwords or solve captcha and i certainly depend on the web to keep my stuff safe. but i would like to understand who is testing that safety and what i as a human can do to fortify myself against it. because maybe sometimes the web needs to be broken so that it can improve. i find im more receptive to hearing stories that make me see the human issues that affect security, and i really enjoy the stories from listeners of light hearted pranks that ended up much more significant. no stupid ai required to make this podcast a good length and density. win 5:5 stars

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 exploring more of the podcast. Unfortunately, I found a disappointing pattern. While the show excels at drawing listeners in with strong hooks and compelling intros, the rest of the episode often turns into surface-level discussion rather than deep analysis. It feels like two guys casually chatting about cybersecurity news rather than breaking down attacks in a meaningful way. A great example of this was the Ticketmaster breach episode. The intro set high expectations, making it seem like we’d get a well-researched breakdown of how two different groups exploited Ticketmaster—one stealing millions of barcodes, the other reverse-engineering the SafeTix algorithm. But instead of diving into the technical details, the episode quickly veered into a broad discussion about Ticketmaster’s reputation, its secondary market monopoly, and general opinions on the company. There was little to no real analysis of the breach itself—no insight into attack methods, security takeaways, or how the industry might respond to such threats. Overall, Hacked has potential, but it needs more substance. If the hosts focused on deeper research—examining the technical aspects of attacks, lessons learned, and industry implications—this could be an excellent podcast. Right now, it too often feels like commentary on security headlines rather than an informative deep dive. I’m giving it 2 out of 5 stars because, while I really enjoyed The Red Teamer, the lack of meaningful analysis in other episodes left me frustrated. I hope the hosts consider adding more depth to their discussions in the future.

Found this podcast by accident. I love it. The hosts are funny, witty and informative. Love hearing the listeners stories as well. Keep up the great work

Haven’t heard the whole episode don’t need to you folks deserve a five star review just for the intro!

too many ads and lacks depth

I learned a lot of really good and useful information that helped me find reference points to get started with the FlipperZero.

This podcast is clickbait to listen to another podcast that costs a lot of money. Do not fall for the trap. These guys are rude and clueless. They don’t know tcp from ip.

Amazing podcast I love how the team feeds my nerd brain

Meh… Podcast lacks depth.

Great podcast
