Daniel McNamara

Telstra

After spending the better part of two decades consuming more phish than any sane person should, Daniel McNamara has developed a unique expertise in analysing, reporting, and educating on phishing intelligence, particularly for large-scale consumer-impacting scams.

In his current role within Telstra’s threat intelligence team, Daniel focuses on protecting both Telstra and its millions of customers from phishing threats, as well as the broader Australian public through his pivotal data sharing work with the wider APAC cyber community.

Daniel has extensive prior experience working across various areas, from small consumer ISPs to federal government and even AUSCERT. He is passionate about his field and is driven to help people understand not only how phishing works but why it remains a significant issue after over two decades.
