IInterview Location: ChicagoInterview Date: Thursday 11th, JulyCompany: KrakenRole: Chief Security OfficerExchange hacks have been a constant thorn in the side of the industry. Where a physical bank robbery of $millions will make headline news, a +$100m exchange hack will barely break out of the crypto news media. Exchange hacks are now so commonplace that a recent report from Ledger’s CEO Eric Larcheveque found that the equivalent of $2.7 million a day was stolen from exchanges last year.Almost every major exchange has experienced a hack of some kind, from Mt. Gox to Poloniex to Bitfinex, and more recently Binance and Cryptopia, the list goes on and on.As such, security is one of the biggest challenges faced by any exchange, and there are very few that haven’t suffered from a breach, one that has managed to remain unscathed is Kraken. With attacks becoming more sophisticated and hackers working 24/7 to find vulnerabilities how is that Kraken has managed to succeed where so many others failed?The man in charge of this roll at Kraken is Nicholas Percoco, their Chief Security Officer. In this interview, we discuss:- Ethical hacking- Finding critical vulnerabilities in iOS- Vulnerability brokers- Kraken’s company-wide security culture- The difficulties in disclosing vulnerabilities- Kraken Security Labs-----If you enjoy The What Bitcoin Did Podcast you can help support the show my doing the following:Become a Patron and get access to shows early or help contributeMake a tip:Bitcoin: 3FiC6w7eb3dkcaNHMAnj39ANTAkv8Ufi2SQR Codes: Bitcoin | Ethereum | Litecoin | Monero | ZCash | RipplecoinIf you do send a tip then please email me so that I can say thank youSubscribe on iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher | SoundCloud | YouTube | TuneIn | RSS FeedLeave a review on iTunesShare the show and episodes with your friends and familySubscribe to the newsletter on my websiteFollow me on Twitter Personal | Twitter Podcast | Instagram | Medium | YouTubeIf you are interested in sponsoring the show, you can read more about that here or please feel free to drop me an email to discuss options.

Nicholas Percoco on Defending the Crypto Honeypot

Nicholas Percoco has more than 19 years of information security experience and is currently the Chief Information Security Officer at Uptake.Prior to Uptake, Nicholas was the Vice President of Global Services at Rapid7. Nick has also been a Director at KPMG and the head of SpiderLabs at Trustwave where he led more than 2000 incident response and forensic investigations globally, ran thousands of ethical hacking &amp; application security tests for clients, and conducted bleeding-edge security research to improve Trustwave's products.Before Trustwave, Nick ran the security consulting practices at VeriSign, &amp; Internet Security Systems. In 2004, he drafted an application security framework that became known as the Payment Application Best Practices (PABP). In 2008, this framework was adopted as a global standard called Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS).As a speaker, he has provided unique insight around security breaches, malware, mobile security and InfoSec trends to public (Black Hat, DEFCON, and OWASP) &amp; private audiences (Including DHS, US-CERT, Interpol, United States Secret Service) throughout the world.Nick's research has been featured by media including: The Washington Post, eWeek, PC World, CNET, Wired, Network World, Dark Reading, Fox News, USA Today, Forbes, Computerworld, CSO Magazine, CNN, The Times of London, NPR, Gizmodo, Fast Company, Financial Times &amp; The Wall Street Journal.Nick is also the creator of THOTCON (a hacking conference held in Chicago each year), &amp; co-founder of The Cavalry movement.In this interview we discuss his early start with computers, what is a hacker, developing a methodology for penetration testing, how he developed the SpiderLabs name, analytics and automation, when you should evaluate opportunities, moving past the fear of public speaking, his personal "drink-a-different-beer-a-day" contest, research and public disclosure of vulnerabilities, how to secure Internet connected devices, where he recruits talent, and much more.I hope you enjoy this discussion.
