A couple of days ago, I unearthed my first #computer, an #MSX straight from the ‘80s. It was lost in some box in the basement for who knows how long. Just feeling its power switch gave me the goosebumps…

This discovery came after sharing my hacker’s origin story with Nic Fillingham and Wendy Zenone in a new episode of Microsoft’s #BlueHat #Podcast.

Join us while we chat about my first-ever #CVE, overlooked #vulnerabilities that continue to pose significant risks today, #ActiveDirectory and #password security, my unexpected journey into #bugbounty hunting and my involvement in the #ZeroDayQuest, how to learn new things, mentorship and positive leadership, and of course pineapple pizza 🍍🍕

The final day of #ZeroDayQuest was truly a blast 💥 While I’m still unpacking all that has happened (not to mention a baggage full of swag), I’d like to thank once again #MSRC for their warm welcome and impeccable organization.

I’m so happy to have been part of an event that has already made history in our industry. Congratulations to all the winners! Cheers, my friends 🥂

Less than 3 weeks to the #ZeroDayQuest Onsite Hacking Event at Microsoft’s headquarters in Redmond, WA.

I’m looking forward to meeting the @msftsecresponse team and other top security researchers from around the world!
