Well, our boys have been very busy lately, and putting time into some serious acting to get a serious Christmas message across. In a collaboration with Host Unknown’s producers, Twist & Shout, we present The Greatest Story Ever Told:
We hope you enjoy it, and don’t forget to check out Twist & Shout and their great information security awareness films.
Last week we announced an impromptu caption for a picture taken of our three presenters during one of their planning sessions. We were inundated with entries, and not surprising since the prize is an exclusive Host Unknown gift!
And now to announce our winner. Our heartiest congratulations go to @InfosecGeekLady, with the following:
We will be sending your prize out very soon @InfosecGeekLady, we hope you like it!
Here is a selection of the very best of the other captions submitted, and thank you to everybody who took part and kept the boys feeling loved.

Never let it be said that HostUnknown doesn’t listen to its presenters (or more accurately their legally appointed representatives who threatened to pull our arms off and beat us with the soggy ends). Our last post closed by stating we would absolutely not be releasing this video on Friday, so we are pleased to announce the release of it today, Thursday.
Now that the “legal representatives” have left our offices, we think it only fair to point out that in our opinion all of the participants in this film far outshine Mr Malik, Mr Agnes & Mr Langford (including the flying drone). We hope you all enjoy it.
Please do not encourage, poke or feed our presenters as we are building our legal case against them which may well result in us being able to get some real professionals for future episodes.
Host Unknown has been made aware of a short piece of footage taken at the recent 44CON in London. We have no idea what Mr Langford is doing, but we certainly do not condone his actions, or any subsequent actions of Mr Malik and Mr Agnes.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the other man in the footage, who it seems has become an innocent victim of one of the teams “jolly japes”. We wish to distance ourselves from Mr Malik, Mr Agnes and Mr Langford, would point the gentleman’s solicitors directly to them and not to us, and apologise unreservedly in the hope that no further action will be taken.
We certainly will not be releasing any footage from 44CON this Friday.
