UnixGuy Cyber Security Career

An Instagram influencer with millions of followers, private jets, designer clothes and a life of extreme luxury.

​

Behind the scenes, he was allegedly helping move money connected to some of the world’s most serious cybercriminal operations.

​

In this very special video, I sat down with a BBC investigative journalist Geoff White to unpack the story.

​

Get yourself some popcorn, this video is wild.

We also get into:

• How cybercriminals actually move and launder stolen money
• Why cryptocurrency changed the game
• How ransomware gangs operate as businesses
• The unbelievable Bangladesh Bank heist
• How investigators track criminals across the internet

Some of these stories are stranger than fiction.

So you want to work in cybersecurity and perhaps you want to become a Security Operations Centre (SOC) analyst? you want to detect, monitor, analyze, and respond to Cyber attacks

Great start, however, much of the advice online is terrible. Here it from my friend Sandra who worked as a SOC analyst without having any prior experience.

We discuss training, certifications, what the job's like, and of course the effects of AI.

The job market is what most people think.

Enjoy the episode!

If you’re trying to land a cyber security job right now, you’ve probably noticed something confusing:

Companies talk about “skills shortage”… and candidates talk about how difficult it is to land a job.

So what's really going on?

I sat down with a recruiter from one of Australia’s biggest cyber security recruitment firms and asked her the following:

• What makes a CV instantly stand out?• What makes recruiters reject candidates immediately?• Do certifications actually matter?• Are home labs and portfolios useful?• Why do some technically strong candidates still fail interviews?• What do hiring managers REALLY look for?

Hear it from people who are actually involved in hiring cybersecurity candidates.
