Conversations
HackedWire Conversations
On-the-record interviews with the people who build, break, and defend systems — published in full, in their own words.
What the series is
HackedWire Conversations interviews CISOs, security researchers, incident responders, privacy professionals, security founders, and executives. Conversations are published in full, lightly edited for clarity, with the subject’s approval of the final transcript’s accuracy.
Our standards
- Verified identities: every guest’s identity and role are confirmed before publication. No anonymous “experts”, no fabricated guests.
- Real quotations: quotes are verbatim from the recorded conversation. We do not composite, paraphrase inside quotation marks, or invent statements.
- Recording consent: every conversation is recorded with the guest’s explicit consent, and guests know they are on the record.
- Accurate technical context: claims made by guests are checked against primary sources; where a claim can’t be verified, we say so.
Status
First conversations in production. Booking is underway; the first published Conversations will appear here at launch. We do not publish fabricated interviews — if no conversation is listed, none has been recorded yet.
