Risky Business #406 -- Making a killing from bug bounty programs
Presented by
CEO and Publisher
Technology Editor
On this week's show we're chatting with Nathaniel Wakelam, a professional bug bounty participant who, distressingly, at age 20, earns shitloads more money than I do! We'll talk to him about how he got into bug bounties, and how he manages to take down a massive paycheck in such a competitive space.
In this week's sponsor interview we're chatting with Senetas Security's Simon Galbally about the mess that is Australia's data breach notification legislation. This week's episode is sponsored by Senetas, an Australian company that designs and manufactures quite excellent layer 2 encryption gear.
Adam Boileau, as always, will also pop in to discuss the week's news headlines.
Oh, and do add Patrick and Adam on Twitter if that's your thing.
