@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 By the way, here’s an #altText if you’d like to use it, as is or modified: Text, reading: “What was the moment that made you take security seriously? Tell me.” The text is in a metallic-looking frame, centred on a purple background that looks like an abstract graphical representation of a printed circuit board, with traces routed around various shapes of locks. Glowing points on the circuit traces appear to represent current.
