In 2013-2015, my illicit computer hacking caused approximately £100m in damage costs.
I had about 500k~ live debit and credit cards worth £4m-£6m on my drive at the time of my arrest.
Yet, here I am in 2022, as a reformed computer hacker, on £334 per month from the government.

Hands-on experience beats everything in the cybersecurity industry.
If you're offered a job that may not seem like your ideal role:
Consider taking it away.
Gaining that initial experience can make it easier to pivot around.

Do you consider the "freemium" model to be free?
I ask this because a lot of businesses will use this model to claim, that they are in fact a free service.
@danielmakelley
Anyone with an Internet connection can get into cybersecurity with nothing but a laptop:
@rootme_org is free.
@LetsDefendIO is free.
@Vulnmachines is free.
@hackthebox_eu is free.
@RealTryHackMe is free.
@OverTheWireCTF is free.
The resources are already out there.
@danielmakelley
You don't need someone that's highly regarded in cybersecurity to help you.
Instead, speak with someone who is a few steps ahead of you.
This is true for any profession.

@rootme_org
@TCMSecurity
@PentesterLab

"How do I get started in cybersecurity?"
It's quite simple, you start by starting.
- Advice is not starting.
- Planning is not starting.
- Information is not starting.
None of these things are starting.
The only way you can learn how to do something, is by doing it.
