Trespass

<p>In this episode, <strong>Corey LeBleu</strong>, a veteran penetration tester, shares a raw and intense story from his early days in offensive security. Corey walks through a social engineering engagement that took a sharp turn, from being closely watched by a security guard to receiving the call that changed everything. What followed was a confrontation with authority, handcuffs, and a moment that forced him to confront the legal and emotional consequences of impersonation.</p><p>Through honest storytelling, Corey reflects on the pressure of physical security testing, the thin line between authorization and trouble, and the lessons he carried forward in his career.
