From Newsround to tracking down Cyber Criminals - the BBC's Joe Tidy
Manage episode 516693775 series 3653869
Today's guest is Joe Tidy who gives a great insight into life working in the world of cyber crime.
In October 2019 he became the BBC's first Cyber Correspondent - a long way from the early days of presenting on CBBC's Newsround.
Annie first met Joe as a triathlon commentator. Joe's competed in Ironman and talks about how long-distance training has helped him in life.
But he's made his name as a journalist and he gives a fascinating insight into life working in the challenging area of cyber crime including being offered potentially millions of pounds by hackers to infiltrate the BBC IT system.
His journalistic mantra is - if you're not going to be first, be the best.
And his Be Braver tip is something he's used in live TV and in public speaking - it's the Power Pose and Josie explains what this is and how it works.
Joe's book Ctrl+ Alt+ Chaos chronicles the life of a teenage internet hacker who became the most wanted cybercriminal in the world. And his new podcast series on BBC Sounds is Cyber Hack Evil Corp.
