I'm in Denmark! Well, just, I'm now at Copenhagen airport ready to begin the long trek home, with the final event at GOTO now done and going just perfectly. This week, there are two ShinyHunters arrests in the news: Pepijn in the Netherlands and then Saif in Jordon. It's an inevitable outcome, of course, and as I say this week, it was also the most likely one. Time will tell how many more join their ranks, but the seriousness of the crimes, the length of time they were perpetrated over, and the motivations behind them will certainly see substantial custodial sentences.
In other news, this week I'm properly introducing a new sponsor for the blog: Origin. One of our next AI frontiers is understanding what agents have actually done (and we've all seen news of where they're been a bit too, well, "creative" in executing their tasks), and Origin's solution gives you visiblity into just that. Check them out, and a big thanks to them for their ongoing support.
