Irene Kenyon - Risk, Intelligence and the Ciphertrace

We've got Irene Kenyon on the Break It Down Show. This is another fantastic spy vs spy episode featuring someone from Pete A Turner's collection of intelligence operators.

Irene's SubStack is packed with great work especially her piece this week on the prevalence of fraud. https://irenekenyon.substack.com/p/fraud-is-everywhere.
