Who Is Will Ellis?

For as long as I can remember I have been worried about the privacy and security of myself and everyone around me. I helped my parents move away from writing their passwords down on paper in front of their computers when I was 11. I even received my first detention for orchestrating a coup when I found out my primary school teacher was reading our class journals.

Since then, I have continued to fight the good fight but through more professional means. After beginning my career at IBM, I struck out on my own to aid SMBs in their own battle against malicious parties, would be data-thieves, and hackers of any kind.

In the years that followed, I found that I also had the urge to help my fellow countrymen protect themselves against prying eyes. I started Privacy Australia with the goal of helping every-day people maintain their private and secret lives on the internet.

I now love to educate others by writing for established audiences that have an appreciation for in-depth security topics. Whether those topics be penetration testing or social engineering, I always provide thoroughly researched prose backed up by years of practical experience with the goal of providing value to the end reader.
