Freaky Clown

BarCode

FC has gone through extreme adversity and has come out stronger on the other side. He grew up in a very negative environment, which unfortunately led to the development of complex PTSD. But from that emerged a unique talent, one that is both a gift and a curse: hypervigilance. He refused to allow his past define him and instead, leveraged the state of increased alertness to fuel his passion for security.
FC talks with us about his breakthrough into ethical hacking and physical security assignments, his 100% success rate at breaking into banks and other highly secured government facilities, the reason physical security engagements are NOT helpful to the business, uniting digital/physical/human-factor for optimal security, and the risk of investing in new tech. FC also details some truly insane stories, including the time he kidnapped the guard at a facility protected by ex-military Gurkhas. Finally, he reveals his advice for aspiring hackers and details on his soon to be released book, "How I Rob Banks: And Other Such Places".
