Lessons From Billions of Breached Records by Troy Hunt of https://haveibeenpwned.com
Security flaws, hackers and data breaches are the new normal. It’s not just those of us in the industry facing these foes every single day; it’s everyone. Whether you’re online or offline, you simply cannot exist today without your personal information being digitized in systems which are often left vulnerable and exploited at the whim of attackers. But who are these people — the ones who seek to break through our defenses and exploit our data? And how are they continually so effective at doing so, despite our best efforts?
Innovation lessons we can learn from hackers
In 2022, Cyber Security is no longer about protecting secrets. It is about our way of life that relies on digital technology everywhere: from clouds to smartphones, from medical facilities to stock markets, and everything in between. In the past 2 years, threat actors have innovated faster than ever before, even using “growth hacking” tricks to increase the impact of their criminal enterprises. At the same time, our own connected lifestyle and digital footprint keep changing at breakneck speeds. How can we prepare for what comes next? By learning from hackers! @Keren Elazari — security researcher, TED speaker, and friendly hacker — joins us for a conversation on emerging security threats, new attack vectors and techniques, and innovation lessons we can learn from hackers.
