As businesses sent workers fully remote last year and operations across the globe relied solely on online connections, bad actors rapidly evolved their cyberattacks to prey on this virtual dependence. To effectively address increasingly sophisticated threats and protect end-users, the anti-abuse industry must constantly stay on the pulse of these emerging tactics.

Welcome to a new episode of M3AAWG 5, our video series where we interview members and experts on emerging threats and prominent issues across our industry.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Mickey Chandler, Abuse Desk Committee Co-Chair and Director of Privacy and Abuse Management at ExactTarget, and Jess Kaplan, Abuse Desk Committee Vice-Chair and Senior Email Compliance Analyst at ActiveCampaign.

By Amy Cadagin, M3AAWG Executive Director 

Each year, M3AAWG continues to produce crucial best practices and industry guidance, and this is clearly due to the contributions of our dedicated members and, particularly, our officers. These individuals exemplify M3AAWG’s mission to build a safer online ecosystem for all through collaboration within the anti-abuse community.
