Tales from Tracking Cybercriminals - Matthew Gracey-McMinn, Netacea

Illicit forums and dark web marketplaces are so closely guarded that it’s almost impossible to know how many stolen user accounts, digital assets, or data leaks are exposed, let alone who is responsible. But the more we can uncover, the better we can defend against attacks and hold threat actors accountable.

In this bonus episode, Cyril is joined by his boss and Netacea’s Head of Threat Research, Matthew Gracey-McMinn. They swap stories from the trenches of cyber-threat intelligence gathering, where they infiltrate criminal forums and marketplaces to root out attackers and their tactics in stealing accounts, data and digital resources from businesses and individuals.

Matthew Gracey-McMinn, Head of Threat Research at Netacea

Matthew is an experienced cyber threat intelligence professional with an MPhil from the University of Oxford. Matthew leads the Threat Research team at Netacea, which researches and investigates the impact of malicious bots on online businesses and their customers, both augmenting Netacea’s bot management solution and providing distinct threat intelligence services.

Key points
  • Building an effective threat research team and function
  • How threat researchers gain access to criminal communities
  • The team’s most interesting findings and successful investigations
  • How threat intelligence strengthens other areas of security like bot management
