FC (Freaky Clown) Biography

FC Freakyclown is the author of the bestseller "How I Rob Banks", and advises organizations on creating a secure, safe environment.

As a keynote speaker, co-founder of Cygenta, and former Head of Offensive Cyber Research at Raytheon, FC has over thirty years of experience as an ethical hacker. He has assisted thousands of banks, governments, and other organizations in advancing their security frameworks. His engagements cover a range of topics including artificial intelligence, ransomware, phishing, and the critical importance of robust security systems.

FC's expertise has been showcased in mainstream media outlets such as the BBC and ITV, and on popular industry podcasts like Darknet Diaries (EP66). He has been featured in printed media worldwide, educating audiences about cybersecurity from a hacker’s perspective. His former role at Raytheon has equipped him to share insights into how nation-states and the intelligence community utilize cyber weapons and the methods to defend against them. His legal adventures in breaching organizational security, both physically and digitally, have taken him across the globe in the ongoing battle against cybercrime.

Although his real name is FC, he is widely recognized by his alter ego 'Freakyclown'. This nickname, originally given to him by bullies in school, has been transformed into a powerful persona for public speaking and education on cybersecurity issues. FC currently resides in Las Vegas, USA, with his wife, Dr. Jessica Barker, an award-winning leader in the human side of cybersecurity, and their cat, Bubble.

FC (Freaky Clown) Speaking Topics

  • How I rob banks

    An eye-opening, informative and entertaining session that takes you on a light-hearted trip through the security issues, both physical and electronic, that have enabled this ethical hacker and social engineer to compromise the world’s largest banks and organisations. Using tales from the front line, FC takes you through the lessons to be learned from an ethical hacker with a penchant for breaking into the impossible. Join him on a rollercoaster ride of epic security fails and grandiose plans, including lock picking, kidnap, police chases and multi-million-pound bank heists.

  • The (nation) state of cyber security

    This talk brings the audience up to speed on the cutting edge of cybercrime. What is the current state of the possible if you are not just a hacker, but a nation-state backed hacker group that has nearly unlimited resources? FC leverages his work within the intelligence and defense communities and brings to light the most recent attack vectors.

  • How a hack works: Spearphishing with demo

    Year on year, phishing attacks keep on growing. In this session, we discuss and demonstrate the who, how and why of social engineering. We cover how phishing attacks work, the human factors behind them and what we can do to mitigate against them. Including a demonstration of a spear-phishing email attack (from the attacker and victim side), this session demystifies cyber insecurity and tackles both the human and technical elements at play.

    This presentation can be delivered in partnership with Dr Jessica Barker.

  • How a hack works: Ransomware with demo

    For the last few years, ransomware attacks have continued to rise. Often untargeted, and unforgiving, research suggests that the majority of victims pay the ransom – and, consequently, the payments being demanded continue to grow. we explore what ransomware is, how it is spread and what individuals and organisations can do to protect themselves from it. Including a demonstration of a ransomware attack, this session enables participants to understand one of the biggest current cyber security threats and what they can do immediately to safeguard data against it.

    This presentation can be delivered in partnership with Dr Jessica Barker.

  • Artificial Intelligence broken down

    This talk gives a great overview of the state of AI, covering the good the bad and the ugly of AI driven technologies. Find out how they work, where they work and how they are being hacked. FC uses his expertise to take apart many of the myths around AI and helps generate a discussion around the use of AI and its future problems.
