We had the privilege of a zoom call with Paul Newton, a magician, mind reader, hypnotist, public speaker and self-proclaimed mischief maker. He spoke to us about  his work with banks and large corporations. It is his job to expose their security weaknesses.

Paul specialises in stealing personal information. Pin numbers, passwords, usernames, mother’s maiden names and first pets’ names are among the few things he can acquire. All his work is in an effort to highlight the dangers of scammers and hackers who are maliciously out there to steal your information.
