Die Hard. Christmas movie or not?

That's how we kick off this special edition of YOU DESERVE TO BE HACKED, a fireside chat recorded as 2025 comes to a close.

This year brought seismic shifts in offensive security. AI agents everywhere. Prompt injection still unsolved. Shadow AI spreading faster than IT teams can track it. And threat actors like Scattered Spider proving that the front door is still the easiest way in.

In this episode, CovertSwarm's Luke Potter (COO), James Dale (Head of Adversary Simulation), Jack Smith (Senior Hive Leader), and Dominika Pietrzak (AI Engineer) sit down to unpack what they've seen on the front lines this year.

This isn't a predictions episode. It's a reflection on what actually happened, straight from the operators running constant cyber attacks every day.

If you want an honest look at where offensive security is heading, this one's for you.

Successful companies are constant targets for attackers. Those who take security seriously don’t test their defenses once a year.
