Forget everything you think you know about hackers. Today’s cybercriminals aren’t lurking in shadowy basements - they’re teenagers mastering cheat codes on Roblox, swapping tips on Discord, and using AI to launch attacks from their bedrooms.

Join Group-IB’s Gary Ruddell and Nick Palmer as they sit down with Fergus Hay, CEO and co-founder of The Hacking Games, to explore how cybercrime is becoming more accessible than ever. They dive into the rise of Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS), the impact of generative AI, and why the next wave of ethical hackers should be recruited from gaming platforms..

This episode unpacks the motivations driving young hackers, the pathway from gaming to cybercrime, and the urgent need to rethink how we recruit and inspire the next generation of cybersecurity defenders.

By understanding how threat actors think and operate, you can better anticipate threats and protect yourself in an increasingly hostile digital world.
