Weekly Update 478

This week, it was an absolute privilege to be at Europol in The Hague, speaking about cyber offenders and at the InterCOP conference and spending time with some of the folks involved in the Operation Endgame actions. The latter in particular gave me a new sense of just how much coordination is involved in this sort of operation, all the way down to some of the messaging in the videos they’ve since released. I’ve seen some social commentary on these already, check them out and see what you think, especially as it relates to the psyops those videos play a role in.
