Launching "WebacyTalks" with an Exclusive Interview with the McDonald's Hacker: Unveiling the Mindset Behind Web3 Security Breaches

Webacy is the consumer trust and safety company for crypto. We protect more than $2 billion dollars in assets with our Safety Suite of products and our EmbeddedSafety API’s. In a bold move to shed light on the intricacies of web3 security, we’re launching a groundbreaking new series, WebacyTalks. The series kicks off with a compelling and eye-opening interview with the hacker responsible for the recent breach of McDonald's Instagram leading to ~$700k in funds rugged with the Solana memecoin, “Grimace”.

In this episode, to kick off the series, we wanted to offer an unprecedented look into the mind of someone often viewed as a culprit: the hacker. However, as the interview reveals, the narrative isn’t as straightforward as it seems. The hacker, who has been portrayed as a villain in the media, shares a surprising perspective on cybercrime in the web3 space. The twist? This individual believes they are helping to expose vulnerabilities that, if left unchecked, could lead to more catastrophic outcomes. If it weren’t them “it would be someone else.”

The key takeaways from this interview are clear: in the rapidly evolving world of web3, self-protection is paramount. Users are encouraged to utilize the tools and resources available to safeguard their assets and data. In order for companies to succeed in thwarting cybercrime in crypto and digital assets, it’s important to understand the psychology of the parties involved.

As Webacy continues to lead the charge in web3 safety, WebacyTalks will continue to find hard-hitting content to get people closer to the action in trust and safety. There will be a mix of business leaders, security experts, prominent voices, and more. We’ll get the best content out there to keep you safe.
