You can now watch “Unfriendly Followers: The Black Market For Your Identity” on demand. Truman Kain, Caitlin Sarian (“Cybersecurity Girl”), and Jai Minton dive into how attackers build a convincing profile on you before they ever make contact, using information that’s often easier to find than you might realize.

The episode breaks down how OSINT fuels identity-driven attacks and why your personal and work life is harder to separate than ever. You’ll also walk away with a clearer view of how to make yourself, your family, and your organization harder to target.



If there were an award for the industry making the biggest moves this year, organized cybercrime would be a top contender. It's estimated to top $10 trillion a year, rivaling the world's largest economies, with innocent businesses bearing the cost. That threat to commerce is why billions are being poured into cyber capabilities across the financial sector.

In this episode of _declassified, Huntress' John Hammond joins a key leader from one of the world's largest payments companies to follow the money. When businesses go dark, suppliers go unpaid, payroll gets disrupted, and customers spend elsewhere. Some of that loss becomes revenue for the adversary. Multiply it across millions of companies, and a dark industry emerges, with everyone else left paying for its success.

Save your spot to see why organized cybercrime is our nominee for the dubious honor of Business of the Year.

We'll declassify more details as the date gets closer.
