About Us
Once upon a time, in a land where cyber threats lurked around every corner of the internet, a motley crew of friends decided enough was enough. Tired of big companies hogging the spotlight in cybersecurity while everyday communities were left vulnerable, they set out on a quest to find the heroes their neighborhoods deserved.
Leading the charge was Sasha, a vetran cyber security expert, and a mom with the wisdom of a thousand memes and the fierce determination to protect others, including her grown-up nerd of a son. With one eye on her kid's antics and the other on the digital landscape, Sasha could see how easily youngsters could stumble into cyber shenanigans without even realizing it.
Joining forces with Sasha were a band of brainiacs, each wielding the power of code, circuits, and caffeine-fueled creativity. From developers who could outsmart a computer to engineers who could build a fortress out of ones and zeroes, this ragtag group was ready to take on the cyber baddies.
Together, they cooked up a plan so ingenious, even the most nefarious hackers would be left scratching their heads. Their plan was to stop cyber crime before it happened. They would bring cybersecurity down to the grassroots level, empowering teens in communities, with their zeal for social justice and passion to right wrongs, to protect themselves, their community, and Canada one byte at a time. Armed with their wits, humor, and a healthy dose of caffeine, they embarked on their mission to make the digital world a safer place for all.
So, watch out cyber criminals, because this crew of misfits is on a mission to harness the power of many to kick some virtual butt and chew bubblegum. And they're all out of bubblegum.
