• #E56 Inside the Mind of Ethical Hacker Ralph Echemendia

  “Every single one of us has been hacked, either directly or indirectly” says Ralph Echemendia who has spent his life on the frontlines of cybersecurity—starting as a curious 13-year-old breaking into systems to evolving into one of the world’s most renowned ethical hackers. He’s worked with Hollywood filmmakers like Oliver Stone on Snowden, advised Fortune 500 companies, and exposed vulnerabilities that most of us don’t even realize exist. In this next episode of Hyperscale, Briar Prestidge and Ralph Echemendia pull back the curtain on the hidden world of hacking and digital deception. Ralph shares astonishing stories of physical infiltrations, explains how cyber threats have shifted from break-ins to invisible, AI-driven attacks, and reveals why your data—and even your identity—are more at risk than ever before. But it’s not just about fear. Ralph challenges us to think differently about technology, control, and the price we pay for digital convenience. His insights aren’t just eye-opening; they’re essential for anyone living in a hyperconnected world. If you’ve ever wondered how hackers think or how to protect yourself in the digital age, this episode is a must-listen.
