SOS returns to Brussels on October 22, 2026!

As the geopolitical landscape rifts, hybrid threats continue to adapt & evolve. We provide a forum for observers of state-aligned sabotage, espionage, and more to share research with an action-oriented community.

Stay tuned for more announcements!

The Curious Cult of Aldi How an 80-year-old German discount chain became America’s hottest grocer.

Very cool story in Bloomberg business week on Aldi and related store Trader Joe's. TJs refers to their customers as "overeducated and underpaid" and I thought that was the perfect description

Of course my friend! Always appreciated your expert commentary on cyber security over the years -- never braggadocios or hyperbolic.
