Inside havenX: Fighting Crypto Kidnappings & Digital Surveillance

In this conversation from Boston Blockchain Week, Alec Harris, founder of HavenX and an expert in digital and physical security, sits down to expose the modern threats lurking behind your digital footprint. From virtual kidnappings powered by voice cloning to North Korean social engineering attacks, Alec walks us through real-world case studies, where even minor lapses in OpSec have cost individuals and companies millions.

We discuss how most attacks begin with simple online reconnaissance. Crypto executives are being profiled through years-old tweets, digital breadcrumbs, and even school photos their families post. Alec explains how data brokers, ad tech, and "always-on" smart devices feed an invisible surveillance machine collecting 50 trillion data points a year.
