RE: https://infosec.exchange/@PogoWasRight/117412318085250446 The man has been identified by @briankrebs as Edward Dubrovsky (court filings name him as Edward Dobrovsky). He was the founder of Cypfer and now is with CyberSteward. He was the author of a book, Cyber Extortion Strategic Response, that was just published a few weeks ago. The docket in his case is not yet public, but the case was moved to the Eastern District of Texas after his arrest in Pennsylvania.  As I speculated elsewhere, Texas is where AT&T is headquartered and I wonder if he might be charged in the 2024 Snowflake/ATT  case. But consider this claim in his LinkedIn profile: "As an expert in the cybersecurity incident response space I have managed, negotiated and contained over 11,000 incidents with over 7500 negotiations helping companies and clients get to safety."
