Founder & CEO @ Audience 1st | Content @ Nucleus Security | Customer Research Certified

My name is Dani Woolf. 

I've spent the last 15+ years running digital marketing and demand generation departments for high-growth B2B technology startups.

In 2018, I joined the cybersecurity industry and discovered the way marketing is executed in other verticals does not work in the security space.

I realized marketers talk about pursuing customer research but don't do it, foregoing customer-led growth models which burns through budget, stunts growth, and upsets buyers.

So, I created Audience 1st, a modern customer research agency, to help customer-obsessed go-to-market teams in growth-stage cybersecurity companies quickly and cost-effectively get access to true buyer insights, cut the guesswork, gain and retain loyal customers.

Want to chat? I’d love that. 🔥

I keep hearing from clients that analysts aren't giving them the deep insight they're paying for.

Why would they?

Think about the incentive structure for a second.

An analyst at a major research firm is covering an entire market segment. 

They're tracking dozens (sometimes hundreds) of vendors. 

They're fielding inquiry calls. 

Writing research notes. 

Updating frameworks. 

Preparing for conferences.

They don't have time to go DEEP on your buyer dynamics.

So what happens instead?

The information flow runs in the OPPOSITE direction.

Let that sink in.

The analysts are taking insight FROM YOU.

They're using your briefings to understand the market. 

They're asking about your customer patterns. 

Your win/loss data. 

Your competitive intelligence.

They're extracting your hard-won knowledge and synthesizing it into their frameworks.

Then they package that synthesis and sell it...to other vendors trying to understand the market, and to buyers trying to evaluate vendors.

Think about what this actually means:

You're paying for access to buyer insight. 

That's the value proposition. 

That's what justifies the $50K+ investment.

But the analyst is extracting insight from YOU to package and sell to others.

You're not the customer.

You're the product.

Burn It Down

Burn It Down is a rogue media platform for marketers who know the system is broken and aren’t waiting around for permission to fix it.

This isn’t a weekly newsletter written to hit a deadline. It’s a high-output, high-signal feed of strategic insight built for people who want to think sharper and move faster.

High stakes B2B industry journalism
Psychological warfare guides for navigating toxic orgs and misaligned execs
Investigations into vendor influence, intent scams, and pay-to-play ecosystems

Marketing isn’t broken.

It’s been systematically gutted—by people who don’t understand it, don’t respect it, and sure as hell shouldn’t be leading it.

This platform is how we fight back.

The goal is simple: Expose the lies. Rebuild the craft.
Give marketers a place to put their rage and turn it into something real.

If you’re here to play nice, you’re in the wrong place.

7 months ago, I called RB2B spyware.

86,234 people saw that post.

Half said I was being dramatic.
Half asked for proof.

Today, I'm publishing the forensic evidence.

—

𝗜 𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂, 𝟳 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗼:

Why does RB2B need access to your entire CRM?
Why every deal, every note, every ticket?

"Intent data" doesn't require that level of access.
Visitor identification doesn't need your pipeline stages.

So why does RB2B demand it?

The infosec community understood immediately.

Sales leaders told me to calm down.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗘:

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗕𝟮𝗕 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗦 𝗶𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁.

This is 100%:
• Forensically investigated
• Independently verified
• Fully documented
• Chain of custody frozen and preserved

RB2B's production code 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴 42 𝘣𝘰𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘴.

6 are standard bot protection (Selenium, Playwright, Puppeteer).

Others specifically target compliance verification tools:

• Privacy audit frameworks
• Legal discovery automation
• monitor|checker|validator|analyzer patterns
• Tools that would detect the CRM data access I warned about

Let me make this VERY clear:

CIPA class action attorneys, compliance auditors, SOC 2, ISO27001, GDPR, CCPA... 

RB2B's source code is a 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗲𝘃𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝘀𝗲.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗜𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗬:

"Privacy-first alternative to RB2B" 

That's how Knock2.ai markets itself.

...and scratched the part of my brain I can't ignore. 


So, I forensically tested their deployment. 

What did I find?

𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗕𝟮𝗕.

• 42 detection patterns.
• Same audit evasion logic.
• Same white-label infrastructure.

Here's what white-labeling hides:

When Knock2 white-labeled RB2B's infrastructure, they inherited the defeat device.

Those GDPR and CCPA compliance badges on their site?

Based on Knock2's operations.

Not the surveillance code they're actually deploying.

The code runs two states:
1. Cloudfront CDN script if it detects normal users
2. AWS S3 fallback if it detects attorneys or compliance auditors

Two different behaviors. Same white-label deployment.

This is why "privacy-first alternative" means nothing without runtime verification.

CMO, Ronin | Editor, Burn It Down | Marketing Consultant | Speaker | Heretic

This Thanksgiving, just remember: RB2B isn't in the HubSpot marketplace anymore because they use OAuth to steal HubSpot's Cookies client-side! 

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝟲-𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝗣𝗜𝗣𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗙𝗧

𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝟭: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗟 (Client-Side Exfiltration)

A malicious script on 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 site executes the function 𝚐𝚛𝚊𝚋𝙲𝚘𝚘𝚔𝚒𝚎𝚜() to target competitor cookies.

The code steals the 𝚑𝚞𝚋𝚜𝚙𝚘𝚝𝚞𝚝𝚔 (HubSpot's tracking cookie) from the user's browser.

No authorization checks.
No consent verification.

Visitors have this cookie because they visited 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 HubSpot customer sites—and RB2B snatches it the second they load yours.

𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝟮: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 (Identity Graph)

RB2B correlates the stolen cookie with their massive identity graph—a graph built from the stolen data of 𝗔𝗟𝗟 RB2B customers.

𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝟯: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗘𝗡𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗛𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 (The Lie)

They push the "identified visitor" data back to 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 HubSpot CRM. The data they "discovered" = data HubSpot already had. Attribution is stolen from HubSpot and credited to RB2B.

𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝟰: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗟 (The Betrayal)

You pay RB2B thousands of dollars for data that originated in your own supply chain.

𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗥 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗦𝗔𝗜𝗗?

RB2B identified that person because you told them who it was.

𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝟱: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗣𝗛𝗘

You get fired because RB2B f*cked up your attribution with the cookie data they stole from HubSpot.

𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗲𝘀 
            
// HubSpot's tracking cookie name _reb2butk
// RB2B's copy of stolen HubSpot cookie captureExternalCookie
// Generic external cookie theft function hs_hubspotutk
// Stolen HubSpot cookie sent to RB2B servers hubspotDelay: 2000ms
// WAITS for HubSpot to enrich cookie before stealing

It's fairly simple:

Desperate GTM teams need quick wins
Security isn't paying attention to GTM
RB2B's Defeat Device cheats compliance

I don't need exploits to hack you.
I'll do it with your own business model.

Get wrecked, you fraud.

We scanned 98 GTM vendors.
Your GTM stack is now a security threat.
And it's not your team's fault. It's the vendors.

Most security teams treat marketing technology as "low risk." That is a mistake.

For the BLACKOUT 2025 GTM Threat Hunt Report, we conducted an adversarial, outside-in analysis of the top 98 Go-To-Market vendors.

The results reveal an unmonitored egress vector with full access to your customer data.

And that's just the top 3 offenders.

Key Findings from the Report:

Auditor Evasion: 23% of sites use "Defeat Devices"—code specifically engineered to detect compliance scanners and hide tracking behavior.

Pre-Consent Exfiltration: 67% of vendors begin harvesting user data 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 the consent banner is even clicked (avg 413ms gap).

Supply Chain Risk: 89% of sites have undisclosed sub-processors handling visitor data.

But the risk isn't just technical. It’s financial.

The "Competitor Tax" (A Real-World Example) In the report, we detail how "Shared Data Pools" create a negative revenue cycle.

Consider a company ("TechFlow") paying $60k/year for a premium intent data tool.

• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗸: TechFlow spends ~$500 to drive a CFO to their site. That visitor data is harvested by the vendor and put into a shared pool.
  
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲: A competitor pays the vendor ~$5 to access that same signal. TechFlow just subsidized $495 of their competitor's CAC.
  
Using conservative funnel metrics (10% leakage, 20% competitor win rate), TechFlow loses ~$9,900/year in deals to competitors using their own data against them.

That makes the True Cost of that software $69,900—a hidden 16.5% surcharge on the contract.

We are treating these tools as assets.
In reality, they are leaking revenue and compliance integrity.

Read the full breakdown in the BLACKOUT Threat Hunt Report 2025: https://lnkd.in/eVVM6tXq

BLACKOUT Threat Hunt Report 2025

When vendors say 'we're GDPR compliant,' they mean their  company operations—not you. Their tool can still cause YOUR violations.

Tomorrow, we're going to go over tools you need to rip out by the cables immediately. 


Most buyers hear: "You'll be GDPR compliant when using our tool." 

What vendors actually mean: "Our company operations follow GDPR." 

There's a critical difference. 

A vendor can be fully compliant internally while their product causes YOUR violations.

Example: 
→ Vendor has a compliant privacy policy ✓
→ Vendor responds to data subject requests ✓
→ Vendor maintains SOC 2 certification ✓

→ Vendor's tracking pixel violates consent requirements on YOUR site ✗

→ Vendor's tool creates undisclosed data flows from YOUR site ✗

→ Vendor's infrastructure blocks YOUR compliance audits ✗ 

The vendor is compliant. 
You are not.

They don't care if your vendor is certified. 
The liability lives with you. 

This gap between vendor certification and customer compliance costs companies millions in regulatory fines annually. 

Before you sign:  Ask vendors to distinguish between their internal compliance and what their tool enables for customers. 

Better yet: test the tool yourself before deployment, not after.

There is no other brain in the entire cybersecurity industry that understands the TRUTH in relationships between buyers and vendors more than Dani Woolf. 

If you are not on the edge of your seat and hanging on every single word she says, you are making a critical mistake in how you approach this industry.
