Jessica Cruz and Ed Hopkins are hackers, but not in the way you might expect.
They are what is known as white hat hackers (or ethical hackers) — a type of hacker that is increasingly being hired by Australian companies as more and more organisations experience data breaches.
Ethical hackers legally target companies in order to find vulnerabilities in their systems. They then tell their clients how to fix these issues before other less ethical hackers exploit them in illegal or immoral ways, including accessing private customer data.
