Great work keynoting Day 1 of @BSidesLV @nixonnixoff! For anyone who couldn't be in the room, you can rewatch the talk here (timestamp 2:52:43): go.unit221b.com/3HbrwJC
Another feature for @nixonnixoff in the wake of the FBI's recent PSAs: "There has been a population explosion in The Com and it is good to see law enforcement respond to this—not just with a PSA but with real crackdowns."

Our Chief Research Officer Allison Nixon will be keynoting @BSidesLV next Monday, August 4th at 11:30 AM PT! Let us know if you'll be in Vegas for #cybersecurity conference central and want to connect with our team. For more info on Allison's talk: go.unit221b.com/46v02Jd
Thank you @arstechnica for shouting out our CRO Allison Nixon's work in this case! So many of these threat actors think they can operate with impunity and anonymity—shifting that perspective will help in dismantling these networks.
