What got you interested in security?
Back in 2000, I created my first static HTML website and 2 years later in 2002, I developed my first PHP/SQL website. It was full of security issues. A friend showed me how to exploit and fix vulnerabilities. It was the “aha!” moment for me.
What got you interested / hooked on WordPress?
Back in 2009 my first daughter was born and I wanted to create a gallery website to post three photos a day to share with our distant family members.
