Brett Gallant: $300K Email Hack, AI Deepfakes & 130-Pound Journey

Brett Gallant: $300K Email Hack, AI Deepfakes & 130-Pound Journey

Cybersecurity expert Brett Gallant joins Devon Wieters to break down a $300,000 email hack, AI deepfakes, and why you're not too small to be hacked.

Brett is the founder of Adaptive Office Solutions, an MSP and cybersecurity firm in eastern Canada. In this Wheel With It Podcast episode he walks through real incidents β€” including a manufacturing plant that got hit twice β€” and the basics he says every business needs: two-factor authentication, a password manager, login monitoring, and a security operations center. He also shares how he released nearly 130 pounds after an October 2023 all-in moment, and the "Why not me?" mindset he wants others to take.
