About

Risky Business Media was founded in 2007 by cybersecurity journalist Patrick Gray, who started writing about cybersecurity in 2001. After some time on the ZDNet Australia news desk Patrick went freelance in 2004, writing for publications like SecurityFocus, Wired.com, The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald.
