(60 minutes).
In this talk, we would like to revisit the point-of-sale threat actors' updated arsenal, methods they take to persist and ponder why they still linger even after the after the enforcement of EMV/chip-and-pin technology. We would also identify possible activities where these threat actors can branch out stemming from the initial point-of-sale breach, the external help they get from other groups and if the recent applications of EMV/mobile payment had disrupted their operations. We would then wrap up with specific items that business owners can apply within their own organizations to help curb these threat activities.
