Lock and Code - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Your shows are always so interesting. This one particularly hit. It wasn’t pig butchering specifically, but my husband got taken down by a group selling a trading platform for cryptos. Their method of getting your money was different. You login to their pretend crypto platform with impressive looking live charts. While your representative is on the line, you login to your bank to transfer money. They then have your bank login information. They login as you and drain your accounts. They nurture you for a while. Once you catch on and they have your money, they keep calling, trying to entice you back. It sounds like they have a full call center going in the background. On the face of it, they are London based. Where they actually are, who knows. Be careful who you trust! Breathe

I enjoy the malwarebytes podcast for its timely, focused, topical and easily understandable content. I think I enjoyed the pod about Express VPN the most. I switched from a commercial VPN to a non profit VPN the same day. the host is personable and enthusiastic. I love the interviews with major security players. Keep up the good work.

It’s no Darknet Diaries, but I really like this podcast. Malwarebytes researchers have always done an awesome job in their reports and communications.

I was really intrigued by the questions that David introduced in the recent re-aired episode intro on the interview with Nitya. For context, I’m in my mid-twenties (cusp of gen Z and millennial) so I find the generational difference in online awareness really interesting. Thus, I found the interview with Nitya to be frustrating and boring. Her answers felt quite judgmental of others’ experiences with social media. No context was given on who she is - i understand her parents may want privacy but her answers were presented like a breakthrough understanding about gen Z as a whole, as opposed to acknowledging that she’s just an individual. Ex: “since Nitya is a minor, we won’t be sharing about her personal info, but she first used a computer in year X, and is not a frequent social media user, which our listeners may be surprised by…”. I’m a loyal Malwarebytes customer and really wanted to like this episode. But I guess I’ll have to try again or give up.
