2025 - 2nd at GoogleCTF, Mid-Season World #1 - and a visit from the Minister!

Our team went all in at Google CTF 2025 and crossed the finish line in second place, securing 37.000 DKK, and for the fourth time - a ticket to the Google Hackceler8 Finals, this year held in Mexico City.

We were proud that the Minister for Digital Affairs (Digitaliseringsministeriet), Caroline Stage Olsen, accepted our invitation and stopped by mid-CTF to cheer on our cyber talent and discuss Denmark’s future in security. We clearly have some of the sharpest people in the world in the technology and security space, and we are happy that the Minister helped us shine a light on that once again. Caroline Stage Olsen, we hope you liked the Kalmarunionen hoodie :)

We’ve now reached the halfway point of the 2025 season sitting at #1 on the global CTF leaderboard. The next six months will be fierce, but we’re ready for every exploit and puzzle that comes our way. We hope you will cheer us on.

Long-time sponsor JN Data sent Mathias Mejborn & Henrik Ordon Rasmussen from their cybersecurity division - complete with fresh JN Data merch. Thank you for continually helping us and showing up to cheer us on; it’s very much appreciated.

A huge thank-you to Eupry for hosting us again, we are great full. Mexico City and the second half of the CTFtime season — we’re coming for you!

A special shoutout 🙌 to our sponsors whose support drives our meet-ups, learning initiatives, and participation in international competitions: Industriens Fond, JN Data, Dubex & ICSRange.
