While corporations and law firms have been successfully infiltrated by well-trained nation state cybercriminals with unique hacking resources at their disposal, these are far from the only hackers that may be able to breach today's cyber defenses.
Given the wide availability of hacking tools and resources, even those with little experience can comprise a company's IT and web assets. Just ask Marcus Weinberger, a 15-year-old ethical hacker and son of Ben Weinberger, lawyer in residence at Prosperoware.
Marcus Weinberger, the young presenter at the “Watch a 15 Year Old Hack Your Firm's Users” session at ILTACON 2018, only got into ethical hacking recently, and is in the midst of learning some coding languages, such as Python.
