Jamie Woodruff is a distinguished authority in the field of hacking and cybersecurity.
Woodruff embarked on his journey into hacking at the tender age of 9. His talents gained significant recognition when he participated in a student competition at Bangor University, where he successfully hacked Facebook, an achievement that thrust him into the public spotlight. This marked the beginning of his notable career in cybersecurity. Throughout his career, Woodruff has been instrumental in uncovering vulnerabilities within high-profile entities, including major security applications like YouTube, Twitter, Apple, Google, and Microsoft. His ethical hacking endeavors have revealed potential threats to both individual and collective data security.
Currently, Woodruff serves as the technical director of Metrix Cloud Ltd, a cybersecurity agency that specializes in handling hacked websites and providing cybersecurity training. Additionally, he is a cyber-safety advisor for Cybersmile, where he helps develop learning tools and educational resources to combat online cyberbullying.

Woodruff’s expertise centers on social engineering and the human aspect of cybersecurity, emphasizing the critical importance of fortifying systems and networks against potential threats. He is known for employing unorthodox live data hacking techniques during presentations, such as dressing up as a pizza delivery person or a conference waiter to demonstrate security breaches. His distinctive approach involves actively infiltrating targeted organizations to unearth existing exploits, always with full authorization as part of ethical penetration testing.
