While Tant breaks into systems, hacks their information and steals it, he does it on behalf of Raxis customers to help them develop stronger cyber secure systems; He finds flaws to help customers. Tant says our personal information is as vulnerable as our country's infrastructure due several factors, but most important is password security.
