Simone Carlstrom

Simone Daphne Carlstrom (July 24, 2001- February 27, 2078) was an American security researcher and hacker, and a founding member of the Philadelphia-based National Insecurity Agency, in which she was known as "Amp". During the group's early years as a student organization at the University of Philadelphia she served as its president, and she was generally accepted as the leader of the group through the end of the 2030s.

A native of Kentucky, Carlstom graduated magna cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania's computer science program in 2023, and earned an MSE in systems engineering from the school three years later. During her sophomore year at the school, she formed the predecessor to the National Insecurity Agency, the Multi-Discipline Engineering Study Group with her boyfriend at the time, computer science student Ran Wang. Wang would invite his roommates, Si Fan and James Bresehoff to join the group, as well as a few other students to join the group.
