In this episode we're joined by James Linton, AKA Sinon_reborn, AKA the Email Prankster.
James shot to fame in 2017 following a series of audacious and outrageous email scams that targeted international banking institutions, high-profile politicians and even the Trump administration!
We quiz James on his motivations, methods and how his email scamming spree led to him landing a dream job at Agari's Cyber Intelligence Division (ACID).
James now uses his social engineering powers and acquired knowledge to help organisations master email security awareness.

BAE. No, not the aerospace company, your kid's bestie or the Danish for 'poop', but in fact an exciting and emerging capability in the war on cybercrime.
Breach and Attack Emulation. This is the real deal.
It may sound crazy, but we're saying we're going to deploy REAL malware into your network (safely of course!), to see what happens. What better way to validate your cyber-defence budget than emulating a real attack!?
We'd love to hear from you if you think this is a good idea or would like to see it in action! Get in touch.
