At @pivotcon.bsky.social, I'm presenting with @hegel.bsky.social and Sreekar Madabushi on the first public look at the full scope of a stealthy, long-running phishing network.

Very excited to share that I’ll be presenting at @sleuthcon.bsky.social in June!

Jim & I will share the backstory behind AkiraBot that didn’t make it into the blog—and what they’ve been up to since.

Published a new Pharos report today - and learned a lot in the process from @milenkowski.bsky.social Jiro, @julianferdinand.bsky.social @tgrossman.bsky.social. The report takes a closer look at how states are using ransomware.
