Editorial Note – Whoami And Why This Blog?

What this blog will be about, who is the writer, what will be the editorial style, and which topics will be covered in the near future? All the answers are here.

Hello World. I am an independent French CTI analyst focused on the Russian-speaking cybercriminal ecosystem. I created this blog to share my findings, observations, and personal analysis of that environment, based on ongoing research and open-source investigations.

I speak French and Russian fluently, have a solid command of English (though I am not Shakespeare), and a good understanding of Ukrainian. Cybersecurity and OSINT are not only my professional focus but also a deep personal interest.

If you are looking for someone to support CTI or OSINT-related work, I am open to freelance opportunities and collaborations. Feel free to reach out.

The purpose of this blog is to promote learning and critical thinking about a world that is often misunderstood. The Russian-speaking cybercriminal landscape is frequently presented in simplistic or exaggerated terms. My goal is to provide a more accurate and nuanced perspective on how these actors operate, communicate, and evolve. The truth is more complex and far more interesting than what is usually portrayed.

This blog will often feature provocative or satirical images generated by AI, but the written content will remain grounded in facts and intellectual honesty. I will not make claims without evidence, and if I am unsure about something, I will say so. If you spot gaps or want to expand on what I publish, I welcome it.

Figure 1. An example of a caricatural image that this blog will be hopefully filled with!

Thank you for staying with me until this point! I hope you will enjoy this adventure as much as I already do!
