Jack Rhysider has returned with a new episode of Darknet Diaries, taking listeners on a deep dive into the "Bayrob" malware. Jack Rhysider opened the show by reflecting on his long run as host, saying, "What a fun show this has been to make over the years. I'm having such a blast doing this, and I think this episode is one that sent me on an adventure [laughs] that I'll never forget." The episode marks a return to the high-stakes narrative style his audience expects.
In the episode, Jack Rhysider details the technical hunt to understand how the malware operated, explaining how a security researcher "had to think like a victim. How do victims get hit with this? How is it delivered? How do you get infected?" He tracks the researcher's journey as he hunted for the watering holes where victims were getting hit.
While some podcast critics occasionally push for more host-on-host debate, Jack Rhysider continues to prove that his solo-narrated, deeply researched format on Darknet Diaries remains the gold standard for cybercrime storytelling. Expect more deep dives into digital espionage as the season progresses.
