Gregory Evans, Former Hacker Turned Cyber-Security Expert and Author
Evans felt he could speak freely and for the first time reveal the back-story to the false accusations around his book.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) August 10, 2011
On August 2nd, 2011, Atlanta Business RadioX Host Dr. Tim Morrison was joined in the studio by Ligatt Security International’s CEO and Founder, Gregory Evans.
Evans is a widely renowned cyber-security expert and author of eight books on high-tech security issues, but his now glowing reputation had an inauspicious start. In 1996 he was on the FBI’s top ten list of “wanted” computer hackers. Evans claims to have started hacking when he was in 7th grade, changing classroom grades for his friends for money. He “expanded” from there. Today Evans heads Ligatt Security International, a leader in computer security and cyber-crime investigation and appears regularly in the media as a cyber-security expert. In 2009, Evans appeared on Fox network’s “Fox & Friends,” as well as CBS news, and the world-famous Frank Ski morning radio show on Atlanta’s v103. He was also named one of Black Enterprise magazine’s Top 20 “Masters of Innovation,” and has been featured in numerous newspapers and magazines, including the LA Times, USA Today, Wells Fargo Business Journal, and JET magazine. He is the founder of National Cyber Security.
In the interview with Dr. Morrison, Greg discusses about his book How to Become the World’s No. 1 Hacker and counters accusations of plagiarism saying that he is not the sole author of the book but rather compiled materials and did exhaustive research on the information presented. Greg describes how some of those claims arose and responds directly. “I’ve never claimed the title of World’s No. 1 Hacker. The FBI described me as being among the top ten hackers. I shared that information with a reporter and the next day read a headline calling me the World’s No. 1 Hacker. Many dispute that title. That’s fine with me. I never claimed it. One reporter used it and others have continued the claim.” In addition to discussing his hacking days, he also provides advice, insight and encouragement to professionals who are considering becoming authors as he has.
Dr. Morrison was thrilled to have Evans as a guest saying, “Greg understands the power of the pen and its impact on business.” He has been on numerous TV and radio programs but on Write Here, Write Now, Evans felt he could speak freely and for the first time reveal the back-story to the false accusations around his book.
