What was said
"I remember one time I had like $12 to my name and I was looking at my bank account... I paid this guy to do my website and he basically got my card. I was naive. I gave him my card and basically he took like all the money, didn't retrieve anything... When you look at your bank account, you're like, oh my gosh, the overdraft fee and all these things, right?"
Coral Santoro revealed she was scammed early in her career when trying to launch an e-commerce business, losing nearly all her money and being left with just $12. The experience forced her to learn how to code websites herself, which became the foundation for her tech career. She frames the moment as a turning point that led her into cybersecurity and software development.
