ANKIT FADIA

Ankit went to Delhi Public School, R K Puram for school.[3] He started a website called "HackingTruths", which he claims was judged as the "second best hacking site in the world by the FBI".[3] He claims that when he was 14, he trashed the front page of an Indian magazine's website. He then sent an e-mail to the editor confessing to the hack, suggesting counter measures.[4] At 15, his book on Ethical Hacking made him the youngest author to be published by Macmillan India.[4] Many publications wrongly reported that Fadia is associated with FBI or CIA,[5][6] however, he himself denied this.

Fadia has also sponsored Singapore Management University's "Ankit Fadia Information Security Award", which is given annually to "an outstanding student" in the Information Security and Trust Course under the Bachelor of Science (Information System Management) degree.[7]

Fadia studied at Stanford University before dropping out in his junior year of undergraduate study.
