I look forward to seeing you all in #Berlin for #VirusBulletin #VB2025 on Thursday, where I will be giving a talk about #phishing, #quishing, #smishing, and making a modest proposal about how cooperation and a bit of working together could make this a crime that is impossible to accomplish.

Been a while since I posted here. I've been trying to spend time off of social media because, even here in this less-toxic social space, it seems like an activity that does not bring me joy, but fills me with dread.

For those who don't know (which is most of you), this project has been the intense focus of my work, taking up a huge amount of my time, energy, and investigative effort for the past 14 months - while still helping others at Sophos publish their research; running an election campaign where I was a candidate for school board; speaking at Blue Hat, @defcon #Saintcon, #VirusBulletin and other conferences; guest lecturing to classes at CU Boulder; volunteering my time canvassing for political candidates; serving as a docent at the @mediaarchaeologylab; working as a poll worker during the current US election cycle; and starting up the Elect More Hackers (electmorehackers.com) organization.

Whew. It's actually kind of daunting just to read that. I also sometimes sleep and eat.

@SophosXOps has been, at its core, an institution that values radical transparency, and this story (and the earlier research investigations into the Operation Pacific Rim threat actors and incidents) demonstrates Sophos' commitment to truth and journalistic integrity, following a story wherever it leads.

I hope our publication today starts a larger conversation and collaboration within the cybersecurity industry - inside and outside the Cyber Threat Alliance, which Sophos actively supports and where I am proud to represent my employer - to work together to thwart the ambitions of nation-state threat actors such as the perpetrators of Operation Pacific Rim, in order to protect the privacy and safety of everyone, everywhere.

I had an amazing time at my first in-person @VirusBulletin conference in Dublin. Great, inspiring talks and really friendly and interesting attendees!

Now on the way back to Copenhagen via Amsterdam with my pockets full of stroopwafels! 😋
