At 10 years old, David Carvalho wrote his very first computer virus. It didn’t steal passwords, nor did it erase hard drives. It simply displayed a terrifying message on the screen: "You have been infected by Sunday. Your hard drive is being formatted."

This journey, from a curious child in rural Portugal to the CEO of Naoris Protocol, is now recounted in a captivating interview on When Shift Happens. Carvalho reveals his personal evolution, but more importantly, why the trust model on the Internet is fundamentally broken, and how he plans to fix it.
