Bianca Lewis, also known by her hacker handle BiaSciLab, is a next-generation teenage hacker and the CEO of Girls Who Hack. Bianca’s cybersecurity journey started at age 11 when she was part of a team that successfully compromised a simulated election-reporting system at DEF CON 26. She has since become a national conference speaker and advocate for recruiting girls into the cyber industry. In this episode of No Password Required, Bianca joins Jack Clabby and KnowBe4’s Kayley Melton to share her experiences as a teenage hacker, her advice for being a confident public speaker, and her other biggest passion in life: the theatre. Jack and Kayley discuss the joint investigation between German police, the FBI, and law enforcement in Ukraine and the Netherlands in the takedown of the DoppelPaymer ransomware group.
