Joanna Rutkowska, a Polish hacker and cybersecurity expert

gained international recognition in 2006 after presenting a vulnerability in Windows Vista at the Black Hat conference using a technique known as the "Blue Pill." This method allowed the operating system to be moved into a hidden virtualized environment, making the hacker's actions invisible to traditional security measures. Her demonstration sparked widespread discussions about virtualization vulnerabilities, prompting Microsoft to quickly patch the flaw.

Following this success, Rutkowska became a leading figure in cybersecurity. She founded Invisible Things Lab, a company dedicated to researching and developing solutions for protecting systems from threats, using innovative approaches to vulnerability detection. Her company also emphasizes the importance of ethical hacking—finding weaknesses in systems to improve their security. Through her research and public talks, Rutkowska continues to be a significant voice in the cybersecurity field, driving the development of more robust defense mechanisms against modern threats.
