Cybermidnight Club– Hackers, Cyber Security and Cyber Crime

In an extensive dialogue, Alberto Daniel Hill shares his fascinating career as a cybersecurity specialist, detailing his beginnings in programming at an early age and how a juvenile hack of a video game ignited his curiosity. The conversation explores the complexity of cybersecurity, emphasizing the importance of analytical thinking and resilience in the face of frustration. A central point of the debate is his experience in prison for an alleged computer crime that he claims not to have committed, which led him to write his book "Logging to Hell" and, surprisingly, to find love. Hill also addresses the growing threat of cybercrime, the need for more ethical hackers, and the crucial lack of legal understanding about cybercrime, underscoring the importance of ethics and personal perseverance in the face of adversity.
