My first blog with Proofpoint is live! And we love a good crossover. State-sponsored actors try their hand at ClickFix - the hottest thing in cybercrime. Meet the North Koreans, Iranians, and Russians who are upping their social engineering game https://t.co/Uwes0VFkPJ

Thank you to @HagueTIX @monica_kello @CorianneM for inviting me back to an amazing conference representing our phenomenal European cyber community, and especially for my best speaker award and lovely prizes! I’m basically honorary Dutch now.

Despite the media attention and public shaming of commercial hack-for-hire companies, they aren’t going anywhere. Left unregulated, the industry will continue without consequence. From @HowellONeill with quotes from me! https://t.co/7DKQQaEojb

@__winn @warstudies Haha it was only a little blog, but I had been angling to write my dissertation on a topic like that - would have been so cool!

[Saher Naumaan @saffronsec]

Really interesting read and great data/trend analysis from @__winn on the proliferation of surveillance technologies through sus vendors at arms fairs who market their products globally & indiscriminately - a human rights and (inter)national security issue https://t.co/6qFImds4o7

I miss DC from time to time, and I’m pretty sure it’s because @chbooksdc is clearly my snarky spirit animal and one of the best things on the interwebs.

[Saher Naumaan @saffronsec]

Great reporting from @shanvav covering our investigation into Lazarus activity in Indonesia in 2020, one of its last big-time heists before the pandemic, and in the midst of all the group's cryptocurrency targeting - because why not both? https://t.co/RKnzEdW64T

So impressed by the reach of #ShareTheMicInCyber and @CamilleEsq and @lzxdc for making this campaign so successful!! Amazing to see so many people and orgs sharing their platform to help combat systemic injustices and build people up who should be more visible and appreciated

Riveting story on Hacking Team malware, the Turkish police, Gülenists, and a whole lot of political intrigue. Making sense of convoluted details and motivations in peak investigative journalism style, from none other than @KimZetter https://t.co/UQAAfmrfXw

[Saher Naumaan @saffronsec]

Come see me and some stellar industry/media/policy people on panels Sept 21-23 at @BigCyberIdeas! I have lots of opinions, you’ve been warned. https://t.co/H9yFr4u5U3

What a scoop from @nakashimae - the firm behind accessing the iPhone in the 2016 San Bernardino case was Azimuth, which ultimately nullified the FBI's legal case against Apple and kept a precedent of gov-compelled exceptional access from being set in court https://t.co/Wq51n9hTWv

[Saher Naumaan @saffronsec]

Great research from my friend and fellow Iran analyst @ChicagoCyber - the question remains, what is the interest behind Charming Kitten's targeting of non-covid or vaccine related medical research? https://t.co/Y6geaWoGn9
