Summary

 'From an early age, locked doors, high fences and the secrets kept by businesses, buildings and people, fascinated me. I wanted to find out what they wanted to hide away.'

A burglar for hire, con-artist and expert in deception and physical infiltration – Jenny Radcliffe is a professional people hacker. After being schooled in the art of breaking and entering by her family, she became an expert social engineer, doing an insider’s job to exploit the flaws and weaknesses in top-grade security operations.

In People Hacker, Jenny reveals how she uses her inimitable blend of psychology, stagecraft and charm to gain access to top-grade private and commercial properties. From the back streets of Liverpool to the City of London's Square Mile, across rooftops, cellars and staircases in Europe to the mansions of gangsters in the Far East, Jenny has risked it all to earn the title ‘People Hacker’.

This is Jenny insider’s account of how her working-class upbringing, northern sense of humour and femininity in a male-dominated industry all helped her to become one of the most sought-after social engineers in the world. Told in her trademark colourful style, and packed full of stories of the crazy and dangerous situations she has found herself in along the way, Jenny shines a light on the security mistakes we all make – and how to avoid them.

Brilliant riveting listen

I totally enjoyed every second of this. What a fascinating life Jenny has had. I heard an interview on the Darknet Diaries podcast which inspired me to listen to the book. I was so pleased that Jenny narrated it herself as well, it just gives it that extra feel of authenticity and also, considering that she is not a trained actor (though obviously an experienced presenter and speaker), it's really well performed. I was also really pleased to hear that her story is going to be made into a TV series. I just hope that they stick with her salt of the earth vibe and realism in casting it and don't go down the route of casting a stick-thin glamorous actress to play Jenny. This is definitely a listen I will come back to.

Fascinating read

I was reading an article regarding Jenny's work and thought that might be interesting so I pre ordered it and listened almost straight away. Not normally something I'd seek out, but was absolutely fantastic, both story and narration. It has really prompted me to double check certain scenarios. The other day I had a call from an outside company regarding some work that I wasnt aware of. Usually I'd just let them carry on, but understanding how security can be breached this way, I checked with head office that this work was expected.

Must listen for everyone!
