I met Andy when I invited him to speak at what turned out to be the last Suits & Spooks / Safe House Global event in DC in September, 2022. Everyone loved his presentation. He’s one of those leaders that you instinctively trust and want to support in whatever mission he happens to be on. You can watch the video of that talk here.
I couldn’t travel to Ukraine, but I managed to assist in some small way right up until February 2023 when a variety of circumstances sadly forced the group to shutter its humanitarian operations.
You’ll be able to read about some of the Russian-directed attacks against Andy and the Mozart Group team in chapter five “The New Enmeshed War Strategy” of the upcoming third edition of Inside Cyber Warfare, currently available for pre-order on Amazon.
You can read what I wrote about Andrew Bain and his role in bringing about the fall of the group here and here.
Andy talks about what happened to the Mozart Group, and what he’s doing now, on episode 286 of The Team House podcast. His discussion with Dave about the Mozart Group starts at around the 30 minute mark, however I encourage you to listen to the full podcast because the “Escape from Libya” story is pretty awesome, too.
