I had a great time creating this workshop for @pivotcon.bsky.social . Definitely eye-opening to deep dive into what "everyone" says about a threat group and how vastly different reporting on "the same" group can be in practice. 😱 Check it out for yourself!

@invisig0th.bsky.social, cofounder of the Vertex Project & architect of the APT-1 Report, shares how exposing PLA Unit 61398 changed the game in threat intelligence with @kimzetter.bsky.social.

Had an amazing time speaking at @pivotcon.bsky.social last week! Grateful for the chance to share insights and connect with the brilliant minds. PIVOTcon remains my favorite threat intel event in Europe. Huge thanks to the organizers for creating this community and the memorable experience.

- Bartosz Roszewski also with the research on North Korean threat operations - “Trevor, did you forget the WHOIS Guard?“

- The third researcher decided to remain anonymous and redacted

3/3

The attendees selected their top 3 favourite presentations. The finalists were:
- Prashil Pattni with the talks presenting practical methods of tracking DPRK threat infrastructure - “How to track the most profitable threat actor in the world, for free” 2/3

All #PIVOTcon25 talks were super interesting and impactful for the #ThreatResearch community.

The Best Threat Research Awards, in the form of reMarkable Pro notebooks for our remarkable presenters, were sponsored by @abuse-ch.bsky.social @spamhaustech.bsky.social

We just published our investigation into a Cactus ransomware campaign, uncovering TOYMAKER, an IAB group using a custom backdoor LAGTOY. It’s still challenging to identify compartmentalized attacks. We’ll share our approach and solutions at @pivotcon.bsky.social in 2 weeks! #toymaker

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.

The @pivotcon.bsky.social 2025 agenda is out! Super excited to see such awesome talks! 🤩
