Raymond Kwok spent eight years in cybersecurity before turning to journalism, working as a penetration tester and incident response analyst for Fortune 500 companies. He holds a CISSP certification and has presented at DEF CON and Black Hat on social engineering techniques used in financial fraud. At ConFraud, he translates the technical complexity of cybercrime into narrative journalism that general readers can follow — and that keeps security professionals engaged. His coverage spans cryptocurrency pump-and-dump schemes, ransomware operations, SIM-swap fraud rings, and the dark web marketplaces where stolen financial data is bought and sold. He studied computer science at Carnegie Mellon University.
