#74 | CFLW Highlight - BigPhish pilot on German public TV - PlusMinus: Geld weg – selbst schuld: Die EU will Bankkunden besser schützen Last week (24, 28 July), a CFLW contribution was broadcasted on German public TV (ARD and Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR)) about the BigPhish pilot that was launched recently. An excellent item produced by Sabina Wolf. Key messages: - It requires a deep understanding of phishing economics and its supply chain to disrupt the ecosystem, - Everyone is vulnerable to phishing (nearby experience ;-)), especially as criminal tactics improve every day, - Yes, the victim made a mistake, but banks, insurers and other digital service providers must take responsibility with better protection and better responses if their platform is misused, awareness is not enough.   ARD TV item on the Phishing challenge (CFLW contribution from 4:40 - 7:00 minute) published on 24 July:  https://lnkd.in/e4trvzwE BR item published on 28 July: https://lnkd.in/eEyXAWWx About BigPhish pilot: https://lnkd.in/eGpvv5Xr Together for a Safer Cyberspace by Bavarian State Ministry of Justice, Bavarian Central Office for the Prosecution of Cybercrime (ZCB), TNO and CFLW Cyber Strategies.

#73 | CFLW Highlight - CFLW at Sea, our summer team event! After a short update on the company status, a personalized lunch with flavors offered by all colleagues was organised. Given the beautiful range of countries of origin, everyone brought a small signature dish, from starter to dessert. To compensate for this signature lunch, a canoe trip on the canals of The Hague was taken, of course including the famous Hague cookie in the canoe! Exiting to see The Hague from the water, another appreciation of the Municipality of The Hague that supports us enormously. We finished at HSD BBQ, where we had a great time with the team, colleague tenants and HSD team. It's a pity that not everyone could come along, because of the holiday that had started or colleagues who worked from abroad. Team CFLW thanks all our partners, clients and relations for an excellent first half of 2024 and wishes everyone happy holidays!! Thanks Miloud Achahbar Nabile Benali Joris den Bruinen Mira van Benthem-Wilderom Saida van Kalsbeek MSc and all colleagues! #TeamWork #Summer #OSINT #Cybercrime #DarkWebMonitor #BigPhish #CryptoassetAnalytics

#72 | CFLW Highlight – BigPhish swims to the next level! The BigPhish pilot has been launched in close collaboration with the Bavarian State Ministry of Justice, Bavarian Central Office for the Prosecution of Cybercrime (ZCB), TNO and CFLW Cyber Strategies. The operational pilot was publicly announced through two high-level events. 1) During CFLW Live on 13 June 2024, TNO and CFLW launched the BigPhish pilot on technical collaboration under the umbrella of the existing partnership agreement 'Joint Forces against Cybercrime'. 2) The Bavarian State Ministry of Justice and TNO have signed a Memorandum of Understanding on 19 June 2024 to formalize their commitment to this pilot. See press release (German): https://lnkd.in/e9Y2VR_c BigPhish is an application for Law Enforcement to combat illegal development and deployment of phishing websites with specific use cases in prevention, real-time intelligence and wayback machine. BigPhish was developed and conceptualized by TNO within the shared research program with the National Police of the Netherlands, based on a techno-economic analysis of the phishing supply chain: https://lnkd.in/eGfYKM3z Its foundation is available as open source according to the COSSAS framework: https://lnkd.in/eYA-gW_3 Goal of the BigPhish pilot is to translate this solution operationally, make it technically mature and future-proof its foundation in order to jointly realize the intended impact for a safer cyberspace.

#71 | CFLW Live Highlights - Unique Partnerships for a Safer Cyberspace 𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧! Together meaning government, from policy to law enforcement practice, knowledge institutes and security industry, working in close collaboration. We ensure that technologies, processes and skills are developed that reinforce each other for a safer cyberspace. Building on success factors: Trust, Long-term commitment and Co-creation. Few quotes: “𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘭𝘢𝘸 𝘦𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢.” “𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱𝘴 𝘦𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦.” “𝘊𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘺𝘦, 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘬𝘴.” “𝘈𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨, 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘵!” “𝘞𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘉𝘪𝘨𝘛𝘦𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳.” Ultimately, the job has to be done by professionals with good energy, and that's what CFLW Live was all about. With more than 10 participating nationalities, including Germany, France, Spain and Austria, underlined the borderless nature of this digital challenge.
