My dispatch from Cyberwarcon: techcrunch.com/2024/11/28/n...

Every holiday season I do a “security tune up” across all my accounts to ensure I’m making use of the best new security features.

What features / tech should I prioritize this year?

We are generally way too overconfident in understanding adversary intent.

Activity is straightforward, attribution is tricky and intent is often opaque and relies on organizational politics and bureacracy inside organizations.

One of my favorite aspects about @cyberwarcon.bsky.social is how it’s a yearly homecoming for a group of people with the primary focus of making a positive impact in the digital domain.

Regardless of healthy business competition, there’s a shared camaraderie being in the fight together.

Can’t forget to shout out these three GOATs who presented on Storm-2077 today!

James crushing it as always. But what’s even better is getting to work alongside of him each day. An amazing teammate and friend!

James Elliott absolutely crushing the last talk of the day at #CYBERWARCON.

Doppelgänger insight from Meta: Professional/contracted IO has two audiences: the target of the campaign and those who hired them (Kremlin)

As always, great insights from Josh and Pratik at Google TAG on IRGC operations. #cyberwarcon

The DPRK IT Worker apparatus is a well oiled machine. Few grasp the depth of how many pieces enable these operations.

Between Two Gregs: An Update on the North Korean Threat Landscape In this episode of the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Podcast host Sherrod DeGrippo is joined by Proofpoint’s Greg Lesnewich and Microsoft’s Greg Schloemer to share the unique threat posed by North Korea’s (DPRK) state-sponsored cyber activities. The Gregs discuss their years of experience tracking North Korean cyber actors and the distinct tactics that set DPRK apart from other nation-sponsored threats. The conversation also explores North Korea’s high stakes, as DPRK threat actors operate under intense pressure from government handlers, adding a layer of urgency and fear to their operations. They share insights into North Korea’s aggressive use of stolen cryptocurrency to fund the regime’s initiatives, like ballistic missile tests, and discuss the broader geopolitical impact.

My two favorite Gregs talking my favorite topic. Check it out!
