I recommend Marc-André Argentino's research on the Com; he's a conspiracy researcher who got his PhD on QAnon. He leans left, if that's a factor for you.
His general overview: https://www.maargentino.com/the-pillars-of-the-com-network/ https://www.maargentino.com/the-pillars-of-the-com-network/
That piece doesn't get specific at all about Com activities but be aware that some of the manifestos and other material he discusses is quite disturbing.
- gyudin 2y agoHe cites same journalist Krebs that has no cybersecurity background. Even Marc-André Argentino himself is a master of arts in theology and not a real cybersecurity specialist.
- BryantD 2y agoNah, he has a PhD from Concordia’s individualized program, supervised by professors from both Theological Studies and Information System Engineering. But it’s true that he’s not coming at this from a cybersecurity perspective, he’s an extremism researcher. I wouldn’t rely on him to evaluate how good someone is at exploits and so on. I do respect his research skills and his ability to evaluate weird cult manifestos.
- sangnoir 2y agoWhat degree does one need to earn first in order to be a "cyber security specialist"?
- wholinator2 2y agoThis coming from Gyudin, who cites no credentials and is not a real journalism specialist. See? Real easy to discredit someone by credentialism. Instead, you can read his article and take apart his points, since you're unsatisfied by his interpretation
- BlueTemplar 2y agoWell, those are some highly disturbing social dynamics... (nothing new I guess, just superchaged by the latest technics ?)
