Stop Botting My Baby: How to Protect Your New Streaming Platform from Malicious Automation

Presented at HOPE 2020 Virtual Rescheduled, Aug. 2, 2020, 9 a.m. (60 minutes)

The launch of HBO Max yielded a lot of attention, though some of it was unwelcome. Credential stuffers, content scrapers, and trolls lined up to test this infant streaming platform. You'll hear how such threats were mitigated - sparing the app from media turmoil - plus maybe how to write your own (better!) bots.
