A 17-year-old renowned hacker, a consultant to Federal Bureau of Investigation, Central Bureau of Investigation and several defense organisations, is to visit city on a seven-day tour.

He will arrive here in city on April 18 and will stay up to April 24. Zaki Qureshey, the co-founder and CEO of city-based E2 Labs, an avid hacker himself, disclosed in a press release in Hyderabad on Wednesday that Fadia would address select gatherings at IDRBT, ASCI, Vanenburg, GE Capital, Satyam, TCS, CMC and BPRD on various subjects. He is also expected to meet many police officials of the state.

Also during his stay Fadia, along with Zaki Qureshey, his co-founder on the board of E2 Labs, will make an announcement on setting up a training facility in ethical hacking in the city.

This is to protect the IT assets of the country through the use of education, technology and experience.     Fadia during his visit will also unveil the first-of-its kind online portal for booking cyber crime related cases.

Fadia is an author of two books which have become international bestsellers. He wrote a book titled 'Unofficial Guide to Ethical Hacking' at the tender age of 14, and became the youngest ever author to be published by Macmillan, in its 110 years of history.   He has given consultancy on several occasions to both Indian and foreign intelligence agencies.
