That Geoff White guy is absolutely rocking the promotion of his new book "Rinsed", all about money laundering. I thought I could hide in this launderette to escape from it, but no such luck!

Seriously, delighted to get my hands on a copy of "Rinsed" - and I'm confident it will be just as gripping a read as @geoffwhite247's "Crime dot com" and "The Lazarus Heist."

This may be the craziest cybersecurity story I've ever told in a keynote. The company that PRETENDED to have been hit by a virus.

And when you hear what the company is, and what they said the virus did, the story even gets more bonkers.

Have you ever heard a more nuts story about a virus attack?

Prosecutors have filed 26 criminal charges against a political consultant responsible for a robocall that used a deepfake Joe Biden to dissuade voters from participating in New Hampshire's primary.

I wonder if we might see similar AI-powered shenanigans in the run-up to the UK's General Election?

I've given over 300 talks at events across Europe, America, Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Australia, but somehow have never got around to making a showreel. Here you go then.

Let me know if you'd like me as a #cybersecurity #keynotespeaker at your event.

I've managed to get my paws on "Dark Wire" by @josephcox, a great new book telling the incredible true story of how the FBI launched a fake encrypted messaging service and spied on the communications of the world's most notorious criminal gangs.

An amazing tale.
