For this Industry Podcast we’re talking to Alex Hope, a Red Team Security Engineer at Atlassian! Alex had no idea they would go into cybersecurity while at uni, but has gone on to be behind some infamous hacks, including Operation Luigi and finding Tony Abbott’s passport number. In this chat, they introduce us to the exciting world of hacking that’s more accessible than you think, as we find out what they do on the job, how they got into the industry (and how you can too!), and what happened after the world found out about the Tony Abbott hack.
