Security Writer


Education?
Master's in International Relations and European Politics.

Position and history at ESET?
Joined in early 2023 as Junior PR and Security Writer. 

What malware do you hate the most?
I don’t hate malware; I find it annoying. Makes us all more paranoid.

What is your golden rule for cyberspace?
Privacy is key. That and be conscious about your data online.

Favorite activities?
Browsing Wikipedia leisurely or gaming.

When did you get your first computer and what kind was it?
Depends. I started with a PS1, but I acquired an old custom PC in the early 2000s – wasn’t much but it served me well for years. Plus, it inspired me to build my own.

Favorite computer game/activity?
Tough question. I love grand strategy games, but I’ve spent most of my time playing various RPGs.
