Given how much things have been virtual the last few years, I am not absolutely sure I was physically there, but I seem to remember an event I attended that he keynoted and during the presentation, he showed off phone spoofing in real time, disguising his actual phone and routing through intermediaries to make it appear he was legitimate (some well known company he spoofed, but don't remember the name). The talk was enjoyable, the demo was impressive (probably not any more, with PBXs and VoIP options at every hacker's disposal, but was unique at the time), and the energy was palpable. I can absolutely see how the charisma. But yes, I can't imagine anyone doubting his criminal record. Not condoning it, but some people are wired differently. He seemed to get on track later in life. I can also recommend KnowBe4, personal experience. On a similar note, has VCF ever gotten Morris to speak at an event?
