This is one of the best storytelling podcasts out there! There is a lot of room for improvement with the audio quality, especially for guest audio and impersonations.

This series has been extremely fun to listen to and for someone who has interest in cyber security it gives great insight into the history of cybersecurity why it’s needed today while providing a great story along the way!

This is a well done podcast. The stories are captivating and keep me entertained while exercising or driving. I look forward to finishing the series.

Audio is uneven and it’s hard to follow unfortunately

This is an amazing cyber security podcast.

After listening to couple of the most recent episodes I decided to go back and start listening from the beginning this is one of the best podcasts for people whom into cybersecurity. Thank you :)

I am new to cybersecurity and during my latest class I was tasked to listen to a few different cybersecurity podcasts. So far, I like this 1 the most because it’s informative about topics that I’ve always been curious about. The host does an excellent job of building the plot and then explaining the subject matter at hand.

This podcast is a must listen for those looking to learn more about how cyber criminals think. The host does a nice job of framing the stories for the audience and does an excellent job of breaking down the many of the nuances of cyber security.

iTunes won't download eps anymore. I love the podcast! ITunes changed somthing back in May 2022 and it's hit and miss as to which podcasts will download. WTAF iTunes?

I always look forward to listening to this podcast as often as I can because it is transparent and it is presented by a host who has empathy with the audience and who sees many dimensions of the issues and problems.

Love the intro keep up the great work

I love the style of this show. The topics are varied and interesting. The host has a pleasant voice.

The stories are absolutely fascinating, but the voice changing pitch is SO ABSOLUTELY awkward. Don’t try so hard to force voice pitch variation. It truly makes it hard to listen to. These stories are so good, but awful on my ears. Just talk a little more smoothly. WAY too forced. Dark Net Diary is a phenomenal podcast with an interesting voice pitch and tone. (I recently found both of these podcasts)

I subscribe to five cybersecurity podcasts, but I wish this was my first! I am late to the series, but I enjoy this the most! By the time I got to the three part series on Stuxnet, I knew I would put the rest of the podcasts on hold until I caught up with Malicious life. The interview excerpts bring the points of reference to life and make this podcast even more engaging!

I love the in-depth stories and happenings given in this podcast. Very informative and entertaining.

I love the stories and back ground information.

Great real life stories that help explain stories around us that journalists don’t report

Good show. Very informative and the stories are interesting. Host is kind of hard to listen to though. He’s a little monotone and dry like a college professor.

You like the sauce ? Sauce is good yes ?

Great writing, good research and interesting stories but Ram reads like a bouncing Christopher Walken impersonator. The unnatural voice fluxes and random enunciations make it beyond annoying at times and sometimes beyond comprehension.

One of my favorite technology podcasts, keeps me well updated (& entertained) in the hacking space

This is my new favorite show, currently listening to all the episodes from oldest to newest. This show has the perfect amount of information weaved in through storytelling to keep you interested.

I can’t praise this podcast enough! Lots of interesting information and history!

Love the info and the story telling way!🙏🏽🫡 super interesting things are discussed 🫶🏽

I listen to this podcast every morning!

This podcast is a lot of fun if you’re into cyber crimes, hacks and cyber warfare. The thing that’s getting to me more and more that’s making it close to unbearable is the way the host speaks. He hanged his tone and pitch up and down over and over in every single sentence. Once you notice this it’s impossible to ignore it and becomes extremely irritating. So much so that I have a hard time even following what he’s saying due to this. For this reason, I can only listen to the episodes that have guests doing most of the talking. If he’s doing the entire story, forget about it. I just can’t. Hopefully those of you who find this podcast interesting aren’t irritated by this issue I find intolerable because it’s otherwise an excellent podcast (minus the pro Israeli bias due to him being Israeli himself).

Only recently found the show, wish I had a long time ago, great content, delves into details on things I only know topically due to interests. Love learning new stuff in a fun and interesting way here. Keep it up! 👍

As a Security Intern, not only do I learn a lot from this podcast but I also thoroughly enjoy listening to it while I work or handle incidents at work. It’s even great to listen to on my commute. Can’t recommend this show enough!

Outstanding podcast… The information is intriguing. The interviews are great. And Ran is a great storyteller.

It was Great

This is a fascinating podcast, with great content and is very well written. However, the host’s speech cadence needs a lot of help. It’s hard to listen for more than a few minutes. A speech coach would help.

Sort of late to this party as I just started listening about a month ago after hearing this mentioned on ‘The Darknet Diaries’ podcast. Ran is concise and easy to follow. He breaks things down and explains any tech language. I have a greater respect on how to protect my and my families’ personal information.

This is a great show. It is kind of like a history/current events of cybercrime that includes solid analysis. They generally keep it high level and that makes the show approachable to a variety of audiences. I also like that the episodes are a reasonable length. The content is packaged to provide good understanding but doesn’t ramble on with unimportant details. Therefore, they make sure my time commitment reaps a good reward. Keep up the good work!

Nice and informative show. I am hooked.

Great podcast with great content! Easy to listen to.

I just listened to your interview with Sherri Davidoff talking to Nate Nelson about the state of credit card security. She is top notch. I'm extremely happy that you are able to find and host such interesting presenters. The quality of this presentation helps us all who work in IT. It is informative, fast paced, and holds my attention (which is extremely difficult). It is presented at a level that most businesses or "somewhat technical" people will readily understand. She's a fantastic speaker with an ability to quickly describe technical details in a simple manner. This is hard for me to say, but I've participated in just about every level of IT and consulting for over 40 years with over 2 million miles traveled. So I know a pro when I hear it. Anyhow, I love her insight and cadence in presenting her knowledge. She's very prepared and passionate about what she speaks of. I would enjoy her return any time - the more - the merrier. Thank you for your great podcast - one of the best out there. Best wishes, Jeff USA

I work in the IT field and have been looking for a new podcast. Most IT podcasts are dry but Malicious Life is sexy. It has suspense, drama and comedy all rolled into one. This is my new favorite IT podcast.

Interesting but personally can’t stand the narrator’s voice and accent.

Ren does a fantastic job telling interesting stories. This is one of the podcasts leading me to creating an Apple ID just to say thanks for such a great podcast. Keep the hits coming!

Verified accurate from multiple sources, open and not.

Far and away my favorite podcast.I love thatYou brought back the B-side concept. Keep up the great work!

I thought I had run the gamut of cyber security podcasts. Some I am still subscribed to and others have been let go. But as I was looking for some more episodes on stuxnet, I discovered malicious life! I’ve now binged 5 different episodes of theirs and I can’t wait to listen to more. Well done and keep up the good work!

YOU yell every OTHER WORD at the END of EACH sentence INDEED

Great material and well organized content!

After having binged Darknet Diaries, this is the next podcast that has really hooked me. The material is great and it just gets better as it progresses!

Want t-shirt

Always catches my full attention, and if it didn’t then it’s Nate’s fault. Thanks for the follow by the way 🤙

Have listened to the first half-dozen episodes and have enjoyed every one. Each episode feels just long enough to be packed full of great content and no filler. Really interesting to hear about the early days of the Internet, the invention of worms, botnets, viruses, DDOS attacks, and much more. Would highly recommend this to anyone interested in computer security, varying levels of Internet naughtiness, or just technology in general.

Incredibly easy to listen to and follow along. The speakers have a sense of humor and are very good on delivering information which allows the listener to make an educated decision on topics.

Great info love the history!!!!!
