We’re thrilled to announce that Alethe Denis will be featured at San Diego Comic-Con 2025 in a special panel hosted by Dent the Future.

Titled Inside the Hacker’s Mind, this conversation will dive deep into the intersection of hacker culture, cybersecurity, and the psychology that drives human behavior in digital spaces. Alethe, a Senior Security Consultant at Bishop Fox and a DEF CON Black Badge Hall of Fame winner, famously compromised a Fortune 500 company using nothing but a phone call—live, in front of hundreds. Her red team exploits read like a spy novel, and her work has been profiled by the Wall Street Journal, Der Spiegel, and others.

The session will explore not just the technical side of hacking, but also the motives, ethics, and social context that shape the hacker mindset. Expect thoughtful commentary, unexpected insights, and stories from behind the keyboard that blur the line between cybersecurity and culture.

If you’re heading to SDCC 2025, don’t miss this opportunity to hear from Alethe and other fascinating voices in the field.
