I met Jonathan in 2018 at the CCC when he was just 18 years old. Back then he referenced my videos which had a little bit of impact on his life. Now a lot of time has passed and in this interview I want to get to know Jonathan better. How did he get into hacking, founding of the CTF team perfect blue, working as a vulnerability researcher and ultimately transitioning into a new career.
