The Ubiquiti Networks fell victim to a $39.1 M fraud as one of its staff members was hit by a fraudulent “Business Emai l Compromise” attack. Thousands of grandmas and grandpas are victim of p hishing emails and are forced to pay ransom to have their data released. \;\n \;\nIn this new millennium\, the cyber security game has cha nged significantly from annoying harmless viruses to stealing vital pers onal data\, causing negative financial impact\, demanding ransom\, and s preading international political feud. Anyone with presence in the Cyber space has to protect himself/herself\, the infrastructure\, customers\, and also deal with the legal repercussions in the event of a breach. In this talk Bhushan will present the different types of social engineerin g practices including use of social networks such as Facebook\, Twitter\ , LinkedIn\, the bad guys successfully use. The victims can range from t he “C” levels (CEO\, CFO\, CTO) down to the individual contributors in a n organization to a grandparent on her laptop. The presentation will als o discuss a variety of ordinary but effective measures such as awareness campaign that organizations can take to minimize the risk of breach. 3\;\n \;\n \;\nSpeaker \;\nBhushan Gupta \;\n \;\nA princ ipal consultant at Gupta Consulting LLC.\, Bhushan Gupta is passionate a bout the integration of web application security into Agile software dev elopment lifecycle.
