We return to Hotline Hacked with a server rack that shuts down a factory, a college library ignoring a keylogger risk, Claude unexpectedly finding its way into a recruitment backend, and a few hacking stories that spiral in very different directions. NordLayer is a network security platform for modern teams.
Agentic swarms? PR boondoggle or really big deal? When Hugging Face was breached by a mysterious intruder, OpenAI admitted it was one of their own AI agentic systems going rogue to cheat on a benchmark.
This was a fun one. We sat down with security icon Bruce Schneier to talk about AI systems that break the rules, cybersecurity beyond computers, the fight over encryption, the Snowden documents, blockchain, digital rights, and what happens when machines learn to exploit the systems humans built.
The first PC virus. The fastest-spreading malware the internet has ever seen. The Manhattan Project moment for cyberweapons. He was there for all of it.
We're so back. Another call in episode featuring strange tales of listeners hacking laundry machines, video games, 90's home computers and so much more. NordLayer is a network security platform for modern teams.

Or the very good bet, depending on how you think about it.
Investigative journalist Geoff White has spent a lot of time inside the leaked communications of Conti — the Russian ransomware gang that ran like a corporation, hit Ireland's national health service, extorted the Costa Rican government, and pulled in $180 million in a single year.
We return to one of the more interesting ransomware as a service stories of the last few years; the story of REvil and it's recently (allegedly) named operator. Also the big mythical thing that happened.
