AI slop is everywhere now - including embedded inside influence campaigns. So what can this tell us about adversarial actors online? Graphika analysts recently tackled that topic at @cyberwarcon.bsky.social and in our new report Cheap Tricks, High Impact: graphika.com/reports/chea...

Emerson T. Brooking of the Atlantic Council predicts that genAI is the next frontier of enshittification which will attract state threat actors in particular. AI optimization will supplant search engine optimization, he says. Oh joy more powerful enshittification ahead. #cyberwarcon

True story: the talks were so damn good at cyberwarcon that I now cannot focus

After a day full of brilliant people, shared purposes, and practitioner solidarity, I find myself renewed once again. Infosec, you always manage to break my heart, and to refill it again to overflowing. Thank you @cyberwarcon.bsky.social & friends.

@cyberwarcon.bsky.social in spirit today. Look forward to seeing the talks. Grateful to @hultquist.bsky.social vision and the community!

Every year at @cyberwarcon.bsky.social there’s an extraordinarily well sourced deeply detailed talk about a topic that I literally know nothing about but is extraordinarily fascinating. Congrats @bees.infosec.exchange.ap.brid.gy for producing this year’s edition.

@cyberwarcon.bsky.social how do you get so much talent packed into one day? This is my favorite conference. Every talk is a banger.

If the talks at @cyberwarcon.bsky.social today are any indication, while you may think threat actor adoption of generative AI improves sophistication and eliminates telling mistakes in phishing and info ops, that future is not evenly distributed!

I won a Switch 2 in the @cyberwarcon.bsky.social raffle.
