Episode 37 - Peering into The Mind of a Hacktivist
Show Notes

In this episode I talk with former hacktivist Mike Jones.  Mike was a former cryptologist for the US Army and also a former member of the hacktivism group Anonymous.  Have you ever wonder why someone would get into hacking? Ever wonder what it's like to be 'talk to' by the FBI?  Well now is your chance to hear about it.

Talking Points:

  • What is Hacktivism? What drew you to it?
  • What is the most misguided conception of Anonymous/Hacktivism?
  • While the movie ‘The Net’ with Sandra Bullock was fictional in the 90’s, you kind of had to live it for a while.  What was that like?
    • Meetings with the FBI and Secret Service
    • No Fly List
    • No Banking
    • Man with a country?
  • Government experiments on hacker behavior
  • FBI 'recruiting' tactics
  • What are you doing with your time now?
