The Cybersecurity Industry Can’t Keep Up With AI

Hacker And The Fed

A $70 million fraud in 41 minutes. Yeah, that's insane. That should be a lead story on the news, that people lost $70 million in 41 minutes. Hector Monsegur was responsible for some of the most notorious hacks ever committed. FBI Special Agent Chris Tarbell. Hackets and FBI informants participated in some of the world's most infamous hacks that caused up to $50 million in damages. A life in the shadows. Cyber attacks on the rise.

Welcome to Hacker And The Fed, free episode number 143. Heck, did you have a 143? Do you know what 143 means in pager talk? Yeah, it means I hate you. No, it means I love you. Oh, and speaking of I love you, I'm Chris Tarbell, former FBI Special Agent working my entire career in cybersecurity, and joined as always by the man, the myth, the legend, the person I love, Hector Monsegur. All right. Hector's a friend and podcast co-host, but he didn't start that way.

He started as a black hat hacker who once faced 125 years in prison. He'd still fucking be there for his many years of hacking under the name Sabu. Our stories collided in June 2011 when I arrested him, frisked him, touched him, and then convinced him to work with me at the FBI. Hector's now a red teamer, researcher, cyber security expert. I mean, they don't throw that title around loosely.

And co-founder of the one and only great SafeHill. Hey, Hector. Hey, what's going on? That one was a little different than normal. That was a good intro, man. Thank you. One, four, three. It got me. Yeah, it put you in a good mood. I like that. It did. I felt the love.
