Greybeard cybersec guy who values ethics, trust, friendship, teamwork. I'm a partner at Interisle Consulting Group, board member at CAUCE and APWG, and was named to the team of experts at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy.

I'm keenly interested in measuring cybercrimes and the resources criminals use to perpetrate them and currently scratching this itch at the Cybercrime Information Center.

I'm a Golden Retriever lover and fantasy novel devotee. I love to cook: Italian, French, Chinese, Thai, Mediterranean and Low Country are staples. Married to the finest and loveliest person I've ever known.

Interisle's malware analyses for the April – June 2026 reporting period are now available at the Cybercrime Information Center. There, you can find rankings of the Top-level Domains (TLDs), Domain Registrars, and Hosting operators (by ASN) with the most malware activity. We also post aggregate records of all operators that met our minimum criteria for malware reported in CSV format at the Cybercrime Information Center’s records repository. https://interisle.substack.com/p/malware-trends-april-june-2026 #malware #cybercrime #cybersecurity #botnet #endpointmalware #attackware #iotmalware

It’s True. We Underreport the Volumes of Resources That Cybercriminals Use We’ve noted in our Interisle landscape studies that our figures underreport the numbers of domain names, IP addresses, and URLs, and free web site user accounts that cybercriminals have misused for phishing, malware and spam. Everyone underreports. Today, I’ll explain what Interisle takes into consideration when we say that our research underreports certain figures. https://interisle.substack.com/p/its-true-we-underreport-the-volumes #cybercrime #dnsabuse #phishing #malware #spam
