Excited to announce that I will be presenting "A Standard For Investigative Playbooks" at BSidesROC next month - always look forward to visiting the Flower City for garbage plates and hacker shenanigans.

So many important discussions on this episode.
Give it a listen.

Respect for Kelsey for taking a firm stand.

Another developer happily took part in this same crypto project: collected these “fees.”

Now their name is dragged across social media after “their” coin (one named after them) collapsed overnight and made lots of people lost lots of money and are angry
