This Daily Security Byte is a little different. Last week, an infamous grey hat hacker, Adrian Lamo, passed away. In today’s video, I share a little about his hacks and life for those that don’t know about him. While Lamo didn’t always follow the rules, he did work hard to improve the security of other organizations, and made an impact on the industry and my own thoughts about security. We will miss him.
