About The Hack Today
Our Mission
The Hack Today exists for one simple reason: to help keep you safe online. In an increasingly connected world where data breaches make headlines daily, we believe that cybersecurity knowledge shouldn’t be locked away in corporate boardrooms or technical conferences. It should be accessible to everyone.
Who We Are
The Hack Today was founded by a single cybersecurity professional with over a decade of experience in the industry, particularly within large fintech operations: Alex Rivers. Having witnessed first-hand the devastating impact of security failures – from preventable breaches to fundamental misunderstandings of basic security principles, Alex recognised the urgent need for better security education and awareness.
What Makes Us Different
We’re truly independent. Unlike many security websites, we have no products to sell, no services to promote, and no interest in monetising your visit. We don’t track you, we don’t collect your data, and we don’t bombard you with ads. Our sole focus is providing valuable, actionable security information to help protect you and your organisation.
We speak human. Security doesn’t have to be intimidating or overly technical. We translate complex threats and vulnerabilities into clear, understandable language that both newcomers and seasoned professionals can benefit from.
We’ve seen it all. With extensive experience across multiple large-scale fintech environments, we’ve witnessed the real-world consequences of security failures. This perspective shapes everything we share – from the latest breach analyses to practical protection advice.

Our Promise
