CrimsonVector is Diego Parra's investigative research practice.

The focus is the persistent infrastructure underneath cybercrime and financial crime: the operators, hosting ecosystems, and financial conduits that outlast individual breaches, indictments, and enforcement actions. The unit of analysis is the network, not the incident.

Three areas anchor the work: sanctions evasion and shadow finance infrastructure; bulletproof hosting and criminal infrastructure operators; and Latin American organized crime and cyber-enabled financial operations. The Latin America focus draws on Diego's background — Colombian and Mexican-American — and on the gap that bilingual primary-source research can fill in the English-language CTI literature. Italian, retained from a year spent studying in Italy, supports periodic work on European financial intermediaries.

Diego works in cybersecurity at a financial services firm in the southeastern United States. CrimsonVector is independent of that work; no employer data, telemetry, or incidents inform what's published here.
