Our Editor's Take

The Darknet Diaries podcast focuses on the true stories behind internet crimes. Anyone fascinated by the world of cybercrime may find this a good listen. Listeners will hear about the hackers that committed astounding crypto heists. They will also hear about the chilling consequences of mishandling the internet.

Host Jack Rhysider is experienced in the world of cybersecurity. He once worked as a security operations employee for a Fortune 500 company. With full access to cybersecurity networks, he has seen the extent of their vulnerabilities up close. He created the Darknet Diaries cybercrime podcast in 2017. He did so because he saw that no one was covering these serious cases. He also has a YouTube channel dedicated to discussing these true crimes.

The Darknet Diaries true crime podcast examines some fascinating cases. At times, these cases sound more like sci-fi plots than reality. Listeners will learn about ReVil, the ransomware that had a devastating worldwide impact. They will hear from penetration tester Jeremiah Roe. His job is to break into systems for a living. Brett Johnson, also known as Gollumfun, will fascinate listeners in a few episodes as well. He discusses how his time spent on the FBI's Most Wanted List led him to where he is today. Another notable episode includes the LinkedIn data breach and its lasting consequences.

The Darknet Diaries crime podcast allows listeners to hear details from some of the most compelling cases of cyber violence. They will listen to the perpetrators and those whose job is to stop them. The resulting conversations are insightful and fascinating. These crimes affect everyone using the internet to keep up with pop culture or finances. And they show no signs of stopping, from New York to Italy and beyond the Mexico border. This podcast is an ideal listen for fans of shows like Crime Junkie and Redhanded.
