Inverted Podcast #26: Hacklore Debunking Common Security Myths with Bob Lord

What security advice is actually helping people stay safe, and what has become outdated “hack lore”?

In this episode of the Inverted Podcast, Jeroen Kemperman, Dana Kaufman, and Dario Salice are joined by Bob Lord (former Yahoo CISO, former Twitter security leader, and founder of Hacklore) to debunk some of the most persistent myths in cybersecurity.

The conversation explores why common advice such as avoiding public Wi‑Fi, using a VPN for everyday browsing, constantly changing passwords, clearing cookies, avoiding QR codes, or worrying about "juice jacking" may no longer reflect how modern attacks actually work. Bob explains how security guidance can outlive the threats it was created to address, creating confusion, wasted effort, and a false sense of security.

The group also discusses Secure by Design principles, why security teams need better data to drive decisions, how passkeys are changing authentication, and what new myths may be emerging in the age of AI.

If you build, market, sell, or use security products, this episode is a practical guide to separating real risk from security folklore and focusing on what truly makes people safer.
