For over twenty years, Daniel McNamara has been immersed in the world of phishing and online scams, developing a rare depth of expertise in understanding how these threats work, how they spread, and how they impact everyday people.

Over the years, he has become a trusted voice in phishing intelligence, investigating major consumer-targeted scams, sharing insights with the wider cybersecurity community, and helping organisations across the APAC region strengthen their defences.

Daniel’s career has taken him through a wide range of roles in cyber and technology, from small consumer ISPs to federal government agencies and AusCERT. What drives him most is helping others see not just how phishing works, but why it continues to thrive after two decades and what we can all do to limit it.
