The Transformation of Kaitlyn Morrow: From Broken to Unbreakable 💼🔒

They say diamonds are made under pressure but no one tells you how much it hurts to be one! My story is not pretty, but it is mine. If it helps just one person take back their power? Then it was all worth it and every scar.

The Girl Who Trusted Too Much 🤍

At 22, I was still too naive. I had just graduated from college with a degree in Cybersecurity, and I got my first so-called "real" job at a "reputable" tech company. I had glass office towers, unlimited kombucha—life was good! But behind the glass, and the free drinks, was my devilishly charming VP, who had groomed me into "special projects". I had started to receive midnight emails, a nipponese specialty from work called "the next day", and "confidential" meetings. He was grooming me when it finally came to demanding me to, "Override these privacy protocols. Just this one time."

I said no.

The next day, I was called into HR. "We will be letting you go. Performance issues." My key card to the office was already deactivated before I could pack my framed MIT diploma. Later, I found out my replacement - a doe-eyed intern - handed over 12 million users data without hesitation, and the panic attacks started.

The Crash (and the Rebirth) 🕶️⚡

For a solid few months, I was dissociated in a cramped studio that smelled like ramen and regret. Then came the day when I was up at 3am scrolling through data breach headlines on Reddit, and I snapped and thought, This wasn't just my shame and burden; this was a systemic crime. I sold my Louboutins (RIP) to pay for my certification in GDPR compliance. I memorized every clause of the CCPA by candlelight during the blackouts.

And now? I am the phantom the corporations fear!
