Bianca Stanescu
Security Specialist, Bitdefender
Bianca Stanescu is Bitdefender's down-to-earth Security Specialist, who's always on to a cyber-trendy story. She's the fraud and social media scam detective who always keeps a close eye on the security movers and shakers to report their deeds from a fresh perspective. After 9 years as a professional journalist, Stanescu found at Bitdefender the perfect blend between her passion for computer code and writing. Native in Romanian and fluent in both English and French, she enjoys investigating the linguistics behind security threats that bypass national filters. Stanescu is also the author of several whitepapers and Virus Bulletin articles, researching topics such as malvertising, malware on social networks, and technical differences between phishing and fraud. She spends her spare time discovering new malicious URLs targeting kids, together with the future Nobel prize winner and Chief Security Officer, who is now 6 years old and knows her as 'mommy.'
