Really happy to receive a prize supported by initiatives like CSIS Smart Women, Smart Power and Future Strategy Forum that work to put women at the center of national and international security where we belong.

Interesting social engineering technique here using a research collaboration premise to target security researchers. TTPs and indicators seem to overlap with Lazarus activity, especially the aerospace & defense focused campaign blog.google/threat-analysi… norfolkinfosec.com/dprk-malware-t…

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? proofpoint.com/us/blog/threat…

What a scoop from Ellen Nakashima - 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 washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

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

Great reporting from Shannon Vavra 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? thedailybeast.com/cash-starved-n…

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

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! technologyreview.com/2021/12/28/104…

Very excited to announce my upcoming fellowship with Virtual Routes and be part of its first cohort!

Thanks to ⁦Virtual Routes⁩ and ⁦Adam Segal (@[email protected])⁩ ⁦Council on Foreign Relations⁩ for publishing my take on Lazarus’ cryptocurrency shenanigans and US policy on the Net Politics blog! cfr.org/blog/north-kor…
