So I happened to interact with them, obviously Amit was there throughout, holding my hand and telling us exactly how things were, is it possible to hack it in this way or not. We asked him all those basic questions and he answered them and of course, my writers, did their research. I am sure they approached a lot of people, hackers, and there are some people whom I know in the hacking world who are basically in the US. I called them up, I spoke to them and they are also white hats, they help the Indian government, and the American government, so they were also very helpful in giving me insight into how hacking actually happens and how we counter it,” he shared.
