Interim CEO Security Alliance (SEAL) -

[Shane Batt @sbatt55]

Excited to step into the Interim CEO role at SEAL and continue working alongside our incredible team to advance our mission of securing the crypto ecosystem.

Grateful for @samczsun leadership and the foundation he's built. Lots of work ahead!

[samczsun @samczsun]

It's been an incredible journey, but I've made the difficult decision to step back from day-to-day operations at @_SEAL_Org. I'll be transitioning onto the Board while @sbatt55 transitions from COO to Interim CEO

[Shane Batt @sbatt55]

Thanks for everything you've built, @samczsun, and for the trust and confidence. You've created something truly special with SEAL, and I'm excited to continue building on that foundation alongside our incredible team.

Looking forward to what's ahead and grateful to have you continuing to support SEAL from the Board.

[Shane Batt @sbatt55]

Excited to launch SEAL Labs, starting with a six-month collaboration with @blockthreat .

Threats affecting one protocol can quickly become a problem for others. By expanding SEAL Intel's incident coverage, we can help security teams spot emerging threats and respond faster.

More to come!

Really cool to see Noon actually put themselves through the SEAL Certification Framework and publicly share the results. Love seeing teams use what we’re building 👏🦭

[Noon @noon_capital]

Noon's has always focused on security. Almost two years live, zero security incidents.

That record comes from a rigorous focus on operational security, so we put our operational security through the SEAL Framework Checklist, designed by the team behind @SEAL_911 and here are the results 🧵

Yesterday we flagged $8M lost to fake support calls in a single week.

🇺🇸 BIG: President Trump signs a memo enlisting private-sector firms to conduct offensive cyberattacks against criminal organizations targeting Americans.

@FPX500 hi Jinzo, first off thank you for this indicator. I use it everyday and is extremely helpful. I noticed it started adding a false Monthly high (orange line) on MES on just the 1 minute only. The previous month high is 7,648.75. Any ideas? Thanks again!

[Shane Batt @sbatt55]

This isn't based on headlines. It's based on what our team has been seeing while helping protocols respond to real incidents. Hopefully it helps other teams avoid the same mistakes.

[Security Alliance @_SEAL_Org]

He’s not exaggerating. We broke down those five things, what they are, why they keep working, & what actually stops them.
