Listen if

Anyone tracking the French-speaking Canadian cyber scene; ransomware waves and public-sector incidents in Quebec have their own rhythm and English coverage is thin.

Skip if

Non-French speakers; also listeners expecting Hexagonal French — the show is unmistakably Quebec.

Key takeaways

  • The only sustained French-language podcast that covers the Quebec cyber scene seriously (Hackfest, public-sector incidents, ransomware).
  • Mathieu co-founded Hackfest.ca; the podcast often previews what's being discussed there.
  • Weekly + guest segments format gives regular coverage without becoming pure news.

Notes

Pair with NoLimitSecu for the French-from-France angle, and the Hackfest livestreams for community context.
