Governments, Hackers, and Government Hackers (feat. Emily Crose)

Welcome back to The FAIK Files!

In this week's episode, we sit down with Emily Crose, a former US Intelligence Officer and expert in offensive and defensive cyber security.

We discuss her book, "Hack to the Future," and the history of how governments pursue and domesticate hackers.

The evolution of the relationship between the hacking community and the US government, from the "Kevin Mitnick era" to modern recruitment.

How the culture of early BBS systems morphed into modern social media influence and disinformation.

Hidden history: The "Eligible Receiver" exercise and the mysterious "Evidence Surprise."

The resilience of Critical Infrastructure (SCADA) and the role of regulation in cybersecurity.
