#051: How to Use Disinformation in a World of Zero Privacy - Lessons from a Practitioner -with Frank Ahearn

Published: July 23, 2016, 2 a.m.

I have never had a guest like Frank Ahearn on the show. He has a very unique perspective on security having lived a set of life experiences we only read about.

Frank works with individuals who need to learn how to disappear, fall off the radar or have extreme privacy needs. He is an expert at vanishing people, creating high-net-worth-privacy, travel privacy and foreign state privacy. Law firms and private asset companies worldwide utilize his unique disinformation and stratagem services.

Major take aways from this episode are:

1) The practice and reality of disappearing in today's digital world of zero privacy
2) Creating disinformation to protect the innocent. Think Ninja smoke screen effect
3) Social engineering & pretexting
4) The underground world of skip tracing
5) Tales of an undercover for hire
6) Hunting people
7) Disappearing from Big Brother Government and Companies
8) Reputation Management
9) If your son gets drunk in college and now his mug shot is public. What can you do about it?

I have linked up all the show notes on redzonetech.net/podcast when you can get access to Frank's blog and published books.
