Presented at
A New HOPE (2022),
July 23, 2022, 2 p.m.
(50 minutes)
Many individuals feel after a pandemic that there's no hope. Cyberminds Research Institute (CRI) is of a different opinion. Cyber-criminals attack those who are distracted with other life events. From the shadows of these attacks comes light and opportunity. HOPE evolves from the knowledge gained after cyber-attacks occur. After the pandemic and now a near recession, cyber-criminals are enthusiastically attempting social engineering related to lower gas prices, rent relief, mask mandates, free vaccines, bogus shot cards, and free COVID-19 funds. This offers new avenues of cyber-attacks where organizations and individuals are easy targets due to the distractions of a post-pandemic climate. This workshop focuses on social engineering, teaching and learning as a result of banally successful cyber-attacks, and the hundreds of unsuccessful cyber-attacks. Leave with hope and a technique to successfully avoid social engineers attempting to diminish hope for a safe cyber tomorrow.
