Victor, the Internet Janitor: Cleaning Up Vulnerabilities

Victor, a self-proclaimed janitor of the internet and member of the guild of the grumpy old hackers, has made a life out of filing coordinated vulnerability disclosures. With over 20 years of experience, he has reported thousands of vulnerabilities and believes in responsible disclosure. The story begins with Victor discovering a vulnerability in a video store's inventory computer when he was younger. This sparked his passion for finding vulnerabilities and reporting them. He later founded the GDI Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on finding and reporting vulnerabilities to help secure the internet. Victor also played a role in exposing the lack of security in Donald Trump's Twitter account by hacking into it twice, emphasizing the importance of two-factor authentication. Victor faced criticism and legal consequences, but his actions were ultimately deemed ethical, and he continues his work in securing the digital world.
