VB2017 preview: Walking in your enemy’s shadow: when fourth-party collection becomes attribution hell
“We heard you like popping boxes, so we popped your box so we can watch while you watch” Two years ago, Juan Andrés Guerrero-Saade of Kaspersky Lab ‘s GReAT team gave a well-received talk on how security researchers had become intelligence brokers.

Or maybe you are that attacker, and you are carefully looking for that single weakness that will allow you to bypass the defence. I am, of course, talking about…
