Killing Them Softly with His Song

"Chaos is inherent in all compounded things..." - Buddha.

Chaos is inherent in our lives filled with technology. Mobile phones, voice assistance, 4K streaming devices, connected utilities, IoT devices have made our world more relevant and more dangerous than ever.  Attackers have unlimited attack surface and targets to compromise. 

This talk will examine current attacks and schemes attackers use to make money, steal identities, and target individuals. This talk is an exploratory look at how cybercriminals make money with low-level crime, the technology they use, and how they get away with it. 

We will explore some techniques they have used from simple gift card theft, credit card theft, attacks against public utilities, and their continued attempts at blackmail and fraud. Explore with me how attackers are all killing us softly and slowly with our technology.
