    @SheHacksPurple@infosec.exchange when it became a lucrative career. not sarcasm or trying to be flippant. i do not take this very seriously, its all kind of silly seeming to me.

    @SheHacksPurple@infosec.exchange I think it was stumbling on hacker forums and security-related RFCs and mailing lists sometime in early-to-mid primary school. Infosec people were much more relatable to me then than my peers were, and I suppose I took it seriously because they did, or because security was adjacent to the sense of safety I’d been craving.

    @SheHacksPurple@infosec.exchange When I realised the scale of our investor/customers funds, and how much of that is interacted with by my systems.

    @SheHacksPurple@infosec.exchange I "stole" our data centre's security camera system, without being recorded by the camera system. (actually i only took one camera away, but had mapped the room to prove that this created a blindspot for the next camera, etc) And I did this without using my other unrecorded power, the admin account on the camera system server itself.
