An Instagram influencer with millions of followers, private jets, designer clothes and a life of extreme luxury.
We also get into: How cybercriminals actually move and launder stolen money Why cryptocurrency changed the game How ransomware gangs operate as businesses The unbelievable Bangladesh Bank heist How investigators track criminals across the internet Some of these stories are stranger than fiction.
Behind the scenes, he was allegedly helping move money connected to some of the world’s most serious cybercriminal operations.
In this very special video, I sat down with a BBC investigative journalist Geoff White to unpack the story.
There is a lot of cybersecurity career advice online, usually from YouTubers who don't even work in cybersecurity.
The advice they give you sound like this:
Build a home lab. Start in help desk. Get CompTIA. Network. Build a personal brand. But does any of this actually help you get hired?
In this video, I ranked the most common cybersecurity career advice based on one thing: whether it actually improves your chances of landing a job. This way you know what to ignore.
So here's my analysis and update for AI security, GTP-6 Astra, Mythos, and the whole Open AI / Hugging face hack and what all this means for cybersecurity as a field: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiweE...
The best role for you depends on whether you prefer technical investigation, business and risk, cloud, AI, or responding to active cyber attacks.
Want to break into cybersecurity in 2026?
This is the roadmap that I recommend you follow REGARDLESS of "specialisation". I don't recommend hyperfixating on area: https://youtu.be/4gr5m1xz0Ds?si=XlxPk...
Cybersecurity consulting is something that I do 100% offline and I don't often talk about online. I had a chance to talk to Hala about the unique risks that small businesses face, especially when speed and execution are the priority.
The challenges aren't unique to just small businesses though. I often find myself discussing the exact same issues with medium-sized and even large organisations. Cybersecurity is not an easy problem to solve.
We did talk about AI, and if you watch the full episode you'll hear me talk about my origin story (which I never discuss). Thanks to Hala for the lovely conversation. Her podcast is one of my favourite podcasts. I listen to almost every episode. Go and subscribe. You'll learn a lot.
Most beginners waste years chasing every cert, learning tools with no context, and taking advice from people who never got hired. Swipe for the 5 things I’d actually tell myself.

Tier 7 Cybersecurity Sales and Presales
This is where you can make the most money and engage in a lot of fun events IF you can sell
IF you can’t sell you’ll be out very quickly. It’s less forgiving than technical roles.
Presales may not have quotas and rely on your technical knowledge more where you’ll design solutions and help sales teams.
Here's the full iceberg breakdown:
