The hacker mindset doesn't actually see what happens on the other side, to the victim.

I wasn't a hacker for the money, and it wasn't to cause damage.

A hacker doesn't deliberately destroy data or profit from his activities.

At the end of the day, my goal was to be the best hacker.

I characterize myself as a retired hacker. I'm applying what I know to improve security at companies.

When an attacker fails with one person, they often go to another person. The key is to report the attack to other departments. Workers should know to act like they are going along with what the hacker wants and take copious notes so the company will know what the hacker is trying to find.
