We hear from Patrick Wardle, former NSA “White Hat” hacker, NASA researcher, and basically a character in Mr. Robot. We loved chatting with Patrick; he’s a ton of fun and we get to hear amazing on-the-job hacking stories, tales of tinder dates with Russian spies, and even more from the wild world of hacking. Even if you’re not a computer wiz (like Jaimie), you’ll love this episode! Follow Patrick on Twitter and Instagram @patrickwardle to learn more!
