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.

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
