How I Hack Tony Abbott and Atlassian w/ Alex Hope

For this Industry Podcast we’re talking to Alex Hope, a Red Team
Security Engineer at Atlassian! Alex had no idea they would go
into cybersecurity while at uni, but has gone on to be behind
some infamous hacks, including Operation Luigi and finding Tony
Abbott’s passport number.


In this chat, they introduce us to the exciting world of hacking
that’s more accessible than you think, as we find out what they
do on the job, how they got into the industry (and how you can
too!), and what happened after the world found out about the Tony
Abbott hack.
