2023 was a big year for both the cybersecurity world and Recorded Future News. The Record nearly doubled its traffic in 2023, and was read by almost 3 million people. The Click Here podcast was regularly heard on dozens of radio stations across the country, and has hit 2 million downloads in less than 2 years. It also won major prizes, including an Edward R. Murrow Award and two National Headliner Awards.

Over the last year, we also expanded our coverage both geographically and thematically — we are now a go-to source for news about topics including privacy and artificial intelligence, and cover stories firsthand in the UK and Ukraine.

There are too many highlights from 2023 to list, but here’s a small look back:
