I have started my cybersecurity journey…
I have started my cybersecurity journey on 2021 with hack the box. Now it's 2024 i have learnt many things from this platfrom. Hack the box will always remain special for me in my career.
I made a pretty unique mistake…
I made a pretty unique mistake regarding payments (Don't expect refunds typically), and the support was kind enough to help me out with a full refund with no questions asked.
5 Stars for just being a trustworthy company.
I was lost
I was lost, so I mentor hopped on chat box and guided me through the dark maze of understanding code and placement.
Thanks Tejas
It's great content and support is excellent
It's not only great content, but the support from HTB has been excellent - I'd let my subscription roll over without realising, but they instantly refunded me the costs and cancelled it.
I'd anticipated a fight with HTB over this but they dealt with my query and cancellation quickly and professionally - fantastic and I wish that other companies would be as thoughtful as HTB
Great support

Highly recommended!
Excellent company and fabulous content
I used hack the box academy for about 4 months and it was fabulous! I really enjoyed it however my husband fell sick in May and I had to leave my career.
I got billed for the next year today and it really stressed me out however within 4 hours Jack the box had cancelled my membership, refunded me my money and wished myself and my husband all the best.
I have no hesitation at all in recommending this company for not only their content but also their compassion.
Thanks so much Hack the Box you are totally amazing.

Fast & helpful reply
I had a question about the report for one of the certifications (CPTS), and they helped me more than i needed, giving me more tips & useful tools !
Great customer service.
Deceptive billing practices and terrible customer service
Summary: Deceptive automatic renewal system leads to hard bans for users who don't cancel, coupled with inflexible customer service and a lack of support for billing disputes.
I accidentally got charged for a subscription after leaving my job due to HackTheBox's automatic renewal system with no opt-out option.
When I tried to explain the situation, they refused to help, hiding behind "anti-fraud" policy which is inflexible and unfair. My account was banned without even trying to understand the circumstances.
I've been a loyal customer and explained everything clearly in emails but they made no attempt to resolve the issue or find a middle ground. Just a cold, automated response. Their support team cited a policy against unbanning accounts with disputed transactions, even though I hadn't initiated any dispute myself, nor had I set up a recurring payment.
Avoid like a plague if you value good customer support. They don't care about their users once they have your money. Their rigid approach to billing and customer service is unacceptable for a platform I once valued.
Extremely disappointed and will be taking my business elsewhere.

Great site
Great site - Allan helped me with a couple issues I was having which I appreciated he got right with me I did not have to wait and that was awesome! Thanks again Allen
Good customer service
Good response time and service by Michael, keep it up!
the application does not give real feedback about the transaction
I would like to suggest, since I have been having problems for several years, that you make available to customers a way to purchase the full subscription as a gift without asking for third-party cards. It is really very annoying to waste time with such a simple management, and the only thing you do is make our experience negative. This year they charged my personal Paypal without any authorization or notice, when I went to purchase the annual subscription with a £100 gift card.

The website is amazing if you really…
The website is amazing if you really want to learn IT, but the people running it are just as good. After I got a job, I didn’t have much time for HTB and my subscription kept going, however HTB issued a refund for a payment that I didn’t plan to do.
Great website and great people, nothing not to like!
Great customer service
