  1. Uprising Bootcamp
    This was a major shift in the community as we had hundreds of people turn out for the virtual Bootcamp. This was a Bootcamp that was focused on getting started in cybersecurity and knowing how to navigate your way in this fast-paced field of cybersecurity. https://twitter.com/infohackerace/status/1544063597952770050?s=20&t=zEuQMJRImjxl4edTFYMo5g With key highlights of.
    - Introduction to Cybersecurity
    - Introduction to Linux and Windows (GUI/CLI)
    - Introduction to Networking
    - Introduction to Python Programming Language
    - The role of Community in Personal Development.
    This wouldn't have been possible without the strong backing of the team in Hacker Ace. shoutout to Oyekunle Abdulrahman (the 9th Hokage), Pwnstar, Tomisin (Singing Dev), Olufela (Cyber Ray), Lytes, RudeFish, Emmanuel Akinmeji, NightHawk, Graphics baddies, Opeyimi (Clever), AJGraphics, Cybernetic. we were able to bring this to actualization.

  2. YouTube Launching
    We launched the community YoTube page to enable people that don't have access to our content to get access to them because that was the whole goal of starting the community. https://www.youtube.com/@infohackerace Enjoy!! with well-known faces on the platform. We have well-seasoned tutors in the community.

  3. Cyber Security Awareness Month
    Awareness and awareness https://twitter.com/infohackerace/status/1576010277056749568?s=20&t=zEuQMJRImjxl4edTFYMo5g can't be overemphasized and the Hacker Ace community went all out there to ensure that the message was passed across.
    We had a lot of engagement and we filled the space with daily content for the whole 31 days, from attack landscape, to attack to detection to how to stay safe. It was an online party as we had a turnout of 3,088 Engagements from 20+ countries which was another milestone reached. But this won't have been possible without a great team and volunteers. https://twitter.com/infohackerace/status/1587698373490089986?s=20&t=zEuQMJRImjxl4edTFYMo5g shoutout to everyone that put in the effort. Cheers to more this year '23.

    We were able to collaborate with the Digital Security Village; tagged Digital Investigation Bootcamp. with a daily turnout of over 80 people from different countries. we had two of our team members lead two sessions, Igili-Andrew Fortune (ai3ech), and Oyekunle Abdulrahman.
