We announced it yesterday during the mast minutes of our 13th edition, in Reims, #Botconf2027 will take place from April 27th to April 30th in Vannes, Golfe du Morbihan, France. Thank you to all our participants, speakers and sponsors who made this great event with us!

Vannes, Morbihan, France. It pictures to the right the Château de l'Hermine.
Wikipedia: The Château de l'Hermine is an old small castle integrated into the ramparts of the town of Vannes (Morbihan). The castle is the main residence of the Dukes of Brittany between the end of the 14th century and the 15th century. Ruined and dismantled in the 17th century, it was replaced during the 18th century by a mansion - the Hotel Lagorce - which took the name of its owner. It is, however, commonly called the castle of the Hermine, the memory of the old fortress of the Dukes being well anchored in the memory of the Vannetais.

Unseizable Extortion: cry0’s Use of the ICP Blockchain |Tammy Harper
Ransomware negotiation portals have traditionally been hosted as Tor hidden services or on bulletproof VPS infrastructure.
