It's no news to anyone working in cybersecurity that journalists, activists and human rights defenders are prime targets of digital threats, with spyware like Pegasus and Predator or APT groups like Charming Kitten or Mustang Panda being just the tip of the iceberg. At the same time, many people and companies in the cybersecurity industry are very willing and eager to apply their analysis skills and insight for the common good. But what kind of threat intelligence do high-risk communities need? What pitfalls are there when it comes to supporting such groups? And do the usual ways of sharing threat information, such as IOCs and the ATT&CK matrix, work for these communities? These questions will be answered in this Small Talk, while there will also be plenty of opportunity to ask your own questions and come with suggestions.
