Flavio Monteiro (born 1983, Beira, Mozambique) is actually a Software Developer, System Designer and Information Security specialist most famous for becoming the first "Hacker" of Mozambique.

Development
In 2005, he demonstrated the main vulnerability to sensitive information in that country.

He has "hacked" most of email accounts of people from Mozambique and proven that the human factor was the weakest pinpoint of Information Security in that country. He has defaced public web sites while proving the importance of a safe and secure mindset on how much people care about their own information.

The "Hacker" as he's usually called, faced public charges on his actions and attended to successive auditions with the mentors of the law in that country. He always defended the main reasons and goals of his work as a social, political and computer security application to the country.

Prior to this, the usual mind set on information security, specially using computers in Mozambique was absolutely on ignoring the value of each bit of information you carry about yourself or those around you, probably because of the less importance given to it. Lawyers commented on the fact that the solution the "Hacker" demonstrated was actually the easiest one: "each and everyone should have an hand on each and every sensitive information belonging to him therefore avoiding catastrophe".

After that, he presented the solution for minimizing the risk of catastrophic attacks, specially to the human factor in that country.

In October 2005, he presented the topic "Computer Forensics - Intrusion and Incident Response" for his Bachelor of Computer Science Degree final examination from ISCTEM. He was the first one defending the creation of a Computer Forensic Lab for serving a centralized Computer Forensic Entity for taking specialized attention on how, from where and by whom sensitive information is used in that country yet providing them with necessary privacy and freedom.

Conclusion
Flavio Monteiro has influenced the volume of internet traffic in that country by increasing the volume of internet usage in Mozambique by alerting people from all over of the country, from all social classes and from all ages about the potentialities of the internet. He trickily attracted most youngsters to copy paste his steps. Some companies have changed their security policies for adjusting with the new reality. Today, it's frequent to see any fragment of "Hackers wanna bees" in that country as a result of the first attack.

On reaction to tangible results accomplished by the Hacker, Flavio Monteiro won the award "ISCTEM Unique Bachelor 2005".
