Is this an ad for Leonardo? 'Greg would only speak to BBC under a pseudonym'...really?
There are many professional, military-or-adjacent red team folks who'd gladly speak to BBC with real names and credentials...
- ceejayoz 2y agoGiven they're supposed to show up at top-secret bases and find a way in, they probably don't want their real names and photos to be a Google search away for blue teams to recognize on sight.
- DrillShopper 2y agoThe irrational conspiracy part of my brain thinks Greg is probably undercover MI6.
- readyplayernull 2y agoHe's a triple agent in his spare time.
- zoeysmithe 2y agoHe breaks into his office and writes himself up for his own poor security.
- prewett 2y agoThat'd be an interesting job interview technique, albeit probably not a good technique: prospective clients are refused at the door and have to finagle their way into the conference room.
- avidiax 2y agoThis would actually be somewhat smart. MI6 could "private label" their pentesting. Their agents get free (actually negative cost) real-world training. You can pick the client list to include both local industries that you would prefer be secure, and potential adversaries that you can infiltrate for "free".
