👉 Welcome to the latest episode of the Man in the Middle Podcast, diving into stories from the world of Cyber Security.

This episode, we interview Jacob Larsen, Threat Researcher and Offensive Security Lead at CyberCX. With six years of hands-on experience in cybersecurity, Jacob specializes in penetration testing, adversary tradecraft, and underground cybercriminal markets. His research into doxing, cyber extortion, and the rise of "violence-as-a-service" has been featured at Black Hat USA 2024 and in major publications like WIRED and The Register.

In this episode, we explore the evolving landscape of doxing, how cybercriminals exploit underground markets, and the terrifying rise of real-world threats stemming from online attacks. We break down the tactics used by doxing gangs like ViLe, discuss how fraudulent law enforcement requests are being used to access sensitive information, and examine the legal and policy gaps that allow these threats to persist.

Join us for a gripping conversation that uncovers the hidden dangers of doxing, the fight to protect victims, and what individuals and organizations can do to stay safe in an increasingly hostile digital world.
