Andrew has been breaking, building, and defending things in infosec for over two decades (wow old). Starting at Paterva he spent 10+ years creating Maltego before moving to the US for security roles at BitMEX (IR), Robinhood (IR/D&R), Uniswap (Head of Security), and now Privy (Principal Security Engineer). He’s spoken at Black Hat, DEF CON, DSS, EthCC and countless others, teaching courses and drinking malibu on the way. When not thinking about security, he’s into cat memes, punk rock, and getting involved in just the right amount of unhinged shit to keep security interesting.

When Agents Get Tools: Security for Autonomous Systems
Consensys Diligence, Andrew MacPherson (AndrewMohawk) '<#<h1>, Alex Stokes

Autonomous agents are moving from experiment to infrastructure. They're sharing tools, communicating with each other, and increasingly operating with real money. But the security conversation hasn't caught up. What happens when an agent gets compromised through shared tooling? How do you lock down something designed to act independently? And when agents need wallets to function, what does crypto security teach us about protecting them?

From vibes to vulnerabilities
Andrew MacPherson (AndrewMohawk) '<#<h1>

I am not a vuln researcher and that's kind of the point, LLMs have come a long way in the cyberz. I tried to find a real RCE with Codex, I failed so badly that I accidentally learned how to find bugs in common projects with LLMs. This talk is about using AI to turn bad vibes into real bugs. Drawing on multiple CVEs across React, Node, Ollama, Wordpress, etc and other projects, I'll show how anyone with a little debugging and security knowledge can go from vibes to vulnerabilities

Web3 Security's Evolution for Mainstream Adoption
Michael Lewellen, Anto, Andrew MacPherson (AndrewMohawk) '<#<h1>, Mooly Sagiv

As Web3 moves from niche experiments to institutional-grade infrastructure, our security models are hitting a tipping point. This panel explores how the industry is maturing to meet the demands of mainstream adoption without abandoning decentralization. We’ll look at what’s fundamentally shifting—from the evolution of smart contract security and wallets to the critical rise of operational security (OpSec)—and what remains immutable.
