Episode Description
Dealing with some of the most vicious threats online is a rough job, and one that takes a certain kind of mindset to engage in. Having been doing this for 10 years, I have seen a lot of amazing triumphs in the world, as well as some of the most vicious scams launched in the wake of those triumphs. I’ve had stunning, against the odds, last minutes wins, and earthshattering, will-never-recover-from-this losses. In all of it, I’ve never been able to let this passion go, even when it drove me to a heart attack. I’d like to explore why I and several others do this job, and what we’d like you to know to not only help yourself be secure but help us make the world a safer place.
