  • Needs regular flow of breaches

    In the absence of a major breach, discussions wander off track repeatedly. I’m not terribly interested in how hot the weather was when last in Norway

  • There are some very sad reviewers on here

    Troy’s podcast is always interesting and his insight is compelling. I really don’t understand some of these bad reviews. They sound bitter and twisted about something. Guys, just because people do well doesn’t mean they are open to attack.

  • Declining

    This used to be a great podcast, I enjoyed it for the data breach / hack discussions and it has prompted me to get into UniFi WiFi kit at home, and build a Pi-Hole. But it’s a bit too much “Troy’s lifestyle podcast” these days, with too much talk about his woes trying to sell HIBP, jetski adventures, beer, and rambling about IoT lights. I’ve stopped listening.

  • 90% waste of time

    This guy sounds like he has no clue about cyber security, dev and sysdev. Got lucky with his great website HaveIbeenPwned. Thanks. A great job! But, listening to him talking about it and open sourcing it, it is clear he is not that an expert.

    And taking a paid partnership with NordVPN, speaks volumes about his inability to get a job with more reputable organisations. If he was such an expert, he would have been flooded with offers. But he only had the devil calling.... sad.

  • Some stars for his work on HIbP only. Podcast needs improvement

    First off, I want to give Troy some respect for making the Have-I-Been-Pwnd website, for making it available to the others for free, and for generally standing up to companies for neglecting our security.

    What I can't stand in has podcast though is his incessant bragging. This is seriously annoying. OK, you live in a sunny part of the world, have a fast car and a boat. So why do we need to hear about it, Troy? I know you're probably reading this. So please drop it and your podcast will be close... more
