Episode 5: The Evolution of Attribution in Cyber Threat Intelligence with Kamil Bojarski

In this episode of Signals & Stories, Kali Fencl sits down with Jennifer Kolde (thesilence), Principal Intelligence Analyst at The Vertex Project, and cyber threat intelligence expert, Kamil Bojarski, to explore how attribution has evolved over the last decade.

Drawing from Kamil's recent workshop at CyCon, the conversation examines how modern cyber operations increasingly rely on complex ecosystems of contractors, infrastructure providers, malware developers, and operational teams. Together, they discuss why traditional attribution models are under pressure, how regional expertise can strengthen investigations, and why collaboration across technical CTI, OSINT, and geopolitical disciplines is essential for understanding today's threat landscape.

Whether you're a threat intelligence analyst, security researcher, or simply interested in how cyber operations are changing, this episode offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of intelligence analysis.
