It's time to head to London soon for #InfosecurityEurope. If you are going to be there, come by and say hello at the talk, or at the KnowBe4 booth. I love to talk ransomware, social engineering and more! 😎

We are in booth E80 at Infosecurity Europe. Say hello if you see me around, and we could chat about social engineering, AI threats, or whatever you’d like. I hope to see you around

I’m off to North Carolina for a customer conference. Last trip booked for a little while after weeks of travel. It’s going to be nice to be home for a bit.

Somewhere on your desktop, there’s a folder full of talk ideas, half-written outlines, and wild workshop dreams. It’s time to crack it open and launch one into the stratosphere. BSides Orlando wants your submissions—talks, workshops, and sponsors welcome.

I wrote a little thing about Salt Typhoon in case you are interested in that APT. I will probably do something about the other Typhoon groups if there is interest. Let me know what you think and if I should do more. madsquirreltech.com/2025/06/unders…
