About Kyeson Blake Utley

My route into security ran through blockchain forensics. At SpookyGood, the practice I founded in 2020, I followed stolen funds across chains for people who had lost savings to scams. Almost none of those losses involved broken cryptography. They came from leaked seed phrases, over-funded hot wallets and approvals nobody understood.

That pattern is why I now build and attack systems for a living at GhostKey Development. I care about the unglamorous parts of security that decide whether a system survives: key custody, the boundaries between components, and what happens to encrypted data once quantum computers can read it.
