Riccardo Masutti

I am an Italian 21 years old entrepreneur, Digital Marketing specialist and independent researcher in cybersecurity and privacy in IT and cryptocurrencies. Since my youth, my passion and curiosity about Information Technology brought me to distinguish myself for the ability to think in a unconvenctional and critical way. Since 2009 I started to try my hand at developing and implementing advanced hacking and data breaches and by making public techniques to counteract these types of attacks. At 14 I launched a website entirely dedicated to the search of vulnerable systems and sensitive information disclosures indexed by Google (via dorks). After had the chance to see with my own eyes and test the weaknesses of Information Technology (both hw/sw and human-related), I can not really go back and do not feel compelled to do something. That's why I'm actively involved in spreading awareness on cybersecurity and privacy topics to people through online pubblications, events and fairs, mostly in italian. In May 2018 I organized, for the Trustless Computing Association, the event "Free and Safe in Cyberspace", speakers included leading IT and blockchain security experts, activists, think tanks and public institutions, including top executives Deutsche Telekom, German Armed Forces, Austrian CIO and German Ministry of Interior. My entrepreneurial spirit and my determination have led me to launch several projects, allowing me to grow professionally in a multitude of different sectors. I make learning transfer the fulcrum of my professional activity and that's why I'm always interested in new technologies and innovations. Today I consider myself an ethical hacker with deep and pluri- certified knowledge about digital marketing, with particular attention to SEO. Other than that, I'm studying theories and applications of robotics and AI, while on the private side I'm obsessed with psychology, sociology, verbal and non-verbal communication. Bitcoin user and miner since 2011.
