You're listening to the Cyberwire Network, powered by N2K. Hello, Maria Vermazza is here. Thank you for joining me today.

2026 is a big year for us here at N2K Networks.

We are celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the CyberWire Daily.

Yeah, time flies when you're having fun.

In today's N2K CyberWire special edition,

we're reflecting on a decade covering leaks, espionage, and influence operations.

So much intrigue.

And for this retrospective, I'm chatting with none other than Dave Bittner, host of the CyberWire Daily.

We are jumping back into our discussions about 10 years of the CyberWire Daily.

So who better to walk me through it then? The host of the CyberWire Daily, the one and only, Dave Bittner. Hi, Dave. Hello, I've been here the whole time. You haven't left. We're doing this again? You've been sitting there in that chair for 10 years. Pretty much. Literally. Haven't left. No, sometimes they let me out on good behavior

but rarely rarely

well

thank you for shambling over to the microphone

yeah that's right

hopefully you don't hear the chains clinking too loudly

like an addict ghost

oh is that what that was

okay well the editors edit most of it out, but every going on, some sneaks through.

Well, for someone who's been trapped in a tiny room for 10 years, you sound very chipper, so appreciate that, Dave.

Appreciate you talking to me today about yet another panorama of what you've noticed over the last 10 years in the stories that have been covered in the Cyberwire Daily.

And our focus for today is something that honestly I hadn't really put two and two together until I started doing some prep for this.
