Robin Haynes

Robin Haynes, also known as Black Mamba, is an ethical hacker, aiding businesses and government-related organizations to help test and improve their computer systems to prevent fraud and data theft.
Haynes is a member of the UK-based White Hat Alliance an organization which offers hacking services to businesses as a way to improve their online security. Haynes has worked for clients of the WHA in the United Kingdom.
In August 2013, Haynes became the first member of the White Hat Alliance to publicly disclose his affiliation with the organization, which was a reversal from the organization's previously strict anonymity.
Background
Haynes first earned recognition from a series of benign hacks and mods in Counterstrike. These were not malicious or illegal, but served to prove his ability to break into systems - and his restraint in not taking advantage of that ability. From Counterstrike, Haynes moved on to other games, from StarCraft 2 to Call of Duty. Eventually Haynes expanded beyond gaming, gaining access to and exposing security flaws in corporations' websites. Haynes would then notify the companies of the security flaws. Several of these corporations would later go on to become clients of the White Hat Alliance.
