TALK: A "Fishy" Conference in Autumn
Julian-Ferdinand Vögele, Recorded Future
ABSTRACT
This talk explores how nation-state surveillance infrastructure can surface in unexpected places. By combining infrastructure analysis, OSINT, and on-the-ground context, we trace an unusual operation tied to a real-world event, uncovering a novel infection vector using commercial spyware and raising broader questions about modern espionage tradecraft, attribution, and where surveillance is headed next.
