If you were an #vb2024 speaker make sure you put the speaker gift in the tray at airport security! Security should go a whole lot faster.

🎉 I am really thrilled to have won the 10th Péter Szőr award at @VirusBulletin. Congrats to all the authors of the nominated papers. They are all excellent pieces and know that I highly respect your work. It is very flattering to have our work recognized by our peers. #vb2024

Publishing exhaustive malware research paper is a _lot_ of work, and it wouldn't be possible for me without help. I'd like to thank our partners (NHTCU et al.) and the team @ESETresearch for technical and language reviews, as well as designers that render the final result.

If you are curious about our research, and to understand how a botnet of Linux servers has been around for 15 years stealing credit cards and cryptocurrency, and mangling HTTP traffic, the paper is available here: https://www.welivesecurity.com/en/eset-research/ebury-alive-unseen-400k-linux-servers-compromised-cryptotheft-financial-gain/

My @SophosXOps colleagues Gabor Szappanos and Steeve Gaudreault are starting their presentation about an investigation into a #malware that used Sophos information in its properties sheet, in the Green room at #VB2024 #VirusBulletin

Here is a summary of my three favorite talks during the first day at Virus Bulletin. I'm looking forward to another full day of talks tomorrow! #VB2024

Hey hacker fam, I will see you next week at #VirusBulletin in #Dublin. Looking forward to seeing you there.

I'm going to be speaking about my experience as a political #candidate last year with my campaign being targeted for #phishing and #BEC, how I fought back, and what political candidates and campaigns can do to protect themselves.

I'll also be discussing some upcoming research on electioneering #deepfakes and #disinformation #campaigns. As you might know, I supported a Colorado bill (https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb24-1147) signed into law this year that attempts to do something about this looming problem.
