After social engineering my way into the inboxes of White House staff and Banking CEOs I then went to work in email security — it was very much the fairy tail ending.
For 3 years I manipulated BEC (Business Email Compromise) cyber-criminals into revealing specific intelligence which was then passed on to global financial institutions and law enforcement agencies.
Over the years I have delivered my authentic mix of spear phishing experiences and email threat intelligence to audiences in the US, UK, Europe and Australia. I am not a polished and slick presenter. But that’s half the charm. My enthusiasm and authenticity is what connects with the audience as I take them on a journey through the parts of security that I find fascinating.

Sets the scene perfectly for a dive into how destructive these tactics are when the intent is malicious.
