Have you ever wondered how a manual labor worker ends up working with the FBI in cybersecurity? Today, we bring you the fascinating journey of Amanda, who made the remarkable transition from manual labor to cybersecurity, thanks to a career-ending injury and a surprising knack for technology. Join us as she shares her intriguing insights into the world of cybersecurity, the Google Cyber Security course, and how to find your niche in this rapidly evolving field.
In a surprising turn of events, Amanda's journey became even more fascinating when she had to use her newly-acquired Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) techniques to outsmart an online stalker. If you've ever underestimated the power of keen observation and attention to detail, Amanda's real-life experience will make you think twice. She shares how she managed to locate a potential troll from a single photograph, a testament to the power of OSINT.
