Staying Together Apart – Cyber Security Culture in Times of COVID-19

COVID-19 impacted us all in different ways. In certain ways it made us stronger and more resilient but in some cases it highlighted our weaknesses. In my world of cybersecurity, I see cybercriminals prospering and cyber security professionals are struggling to stay abreast. I want to share my experiences and advice on how to keep your cyber security team strong so it can rise to an occasion in times of crisis.

Dissecting Cybercrime – Mule Networks- unwitting accomplices in cyber crime

Every year tens of thousands of individuals are getting recruited by cybercriminals for legitimately looking jobs of reshipping clerks, accounting specialists, and many other positions. This year, due to the pandemic, these work-from-home jobs got a new level of legitimacy and unprecidented demand. We will examine current schemes for stolen goods re-shipment, charity scheming, money laundering, and more.

Dissecting Cybercrime – Credentials – (still) keys to your kingdom

Many years ago we decided that protecting our data just behind username and password authentication is a bad idea. Yet today, we are still heavily relying only on this technology. And, in turn, cybercriminals rely on stolen credentials to enter our realm to wreak havoc. Let’s take a look at how your credentials are valued today, how they are stolen and abused. Then let’s discuss available safeguards including not only MFA but other viable defenses for our society that still holds on to its P@ssword1!

...Tweet No Evil

After the recent Twitter account compromise many questions come into focus about security of our social media and events leading to account takeovers. Our investigations of similar cryptocurrency schemes show a pattern of abuse of people’s trust. However, the current Twitter incident is significantly more than meets the eye. The magnitude and impact do not match the financial gains. Sophistication of the breach of high-profile accounts pales in comparison to a sophomoric monetization scheme.

Dissecting Cybercrime – Journey of a Stolen Credit Card

We often don’t realize the full impact of cyber crime, which then relapses us into repeating the same mistakes. Even large companies do not completely understand how their data and services are being abused. I want to take you on a journey of observing credit card fraud and abuse from stealing a credit card to trafficking of stolen goods. Learning about these vectors of abuse will help you and your organization to mitigate a number of common attacks and abuses.

The Future of US Democracy: 2020 Election, Russia, BLM, COVID19 & Social Media

In August 2019, Hold Security ran a table top exercise with Wisconsin Ingragard focusing on potential electronic tampering of the 2020 Wisconsin elections by foreign influences. We leveraged our insights in identifying and reporting Russian interference during the 2016 US election to derive critical lessons. The results were fascinating and scary. In this session, we will focus on the 2020 US election through our unique cybersecurity perspective focusing on current events and technical understanding to analyze use of social media manipulations, civil unrest, disinformation campaigns, cyber attacks, and more.
