Loud Tree Media presents “What the Hack with Adam Levin.” This series features “true cybercrime with dad jokes” and provides a safe space for any victims of scams, hacking, phishing, and cyber attacks to share their stories. Hosted by consumer affairs veteran Adam Levin, Beau “Hack Me” Friedlander, and Travis “Here’s What Actually Happened” Taylor, they’ll share stories, scams they’ve fallen for, conversations with guests, tips on becoming less hackable, and more on weekly episodes.
