Karim is an émigré in Edinburgh, working respectably for a global Canadian cybersecurity company. But under the screen name L0ck$ley—a nod to Robin Hood—he wages a private war against greed. Using the same tools the FBI fears—Kali Linux, Metasploit, and an arsenal of real-world exploits—he steals from corrupt corporations and quietly funds those in need through anonymous GoFundMe-style causes. To the world, he looks like an entire hostile nation-state cell.
