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 #CTI #ThreatIntel 1/3

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.

Will post more later but omfg @pivotcon.bsky.social remains the best conference. So much learned, so much shared, so many amazing people in this industry. Feeling very lucky to be part of this community ✨ @corpen.secman.pl @pstirparo.bsky.social (we forgot to get a selfie! 😭)

Finally, some official authority has the balls to say it! CERT-Poland says Meta is failing to crack down on financial fraud on its sites This thing has been driving me crazy! Literally EVERY malicious ad I reported over the past 2 years has been declined. EVERY ONE!!! cert.pl/en/posts/202...

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.
