Episode Ethical Hacking, Online Scams & the Hacker Mindset | Amit Dubey | Cyrus Says
Cybersecurity expert, author and IIT Kharagpur graduate Amit Dubey joins Cyrus Broacha on Cyrus Says for a hilarious and fascinating conversation about hacking, cybercrime, online scams and the mindset of young hackers.
Amit takes us back to his IIT days, when an experiment involving a cloned Yahoo login page got him barred from the computer lab, before a professor recognised his skills and introduced him to ethical hacking and network security.
The conversation moves from legendary hackers and teenage cyber prodigies to one of India’s most alarming online frauds: the “digital arrest” scam. Amit breaks down how scammers impersonate police officers, create fake government and Supreme Court websites, use video calls to intimidate victims, and convince people to transfer money under the threat of arrest.
Along the way, Amit also talks about his early love for writing and poetry, his books The Hidden Files and The Return of the Trojan Horse, and why curiosity and fearlessness can make young people exceptionally good with technology.
