Satellite piracy
Spying on a Wi-Fi network is difficult because you need to get close enough to your target. Satellite internet is a different story: these devices can transmit user data across oceans and continents. This information is often unencrypted, so it’s easy to intercept even with fairly basic equipment. A VPN is unlikely to help because of the special speed settings used by satellite internet providers. Fortunately, researchers have proposed a solution to this problem.
Coronavirus and the 2020 elections
Keynote speaker Matt Blaze delivered the good news: experts had figured out how to secure elections in the United States—all that was left was to implement the idea nationwide. Then the pandemic began, and developers faced new challenges. Blaze spoke about the complications that COVID-19 brings to the already complex field of election security, and urged conference participants to participate in the activities of local polling stations to the best of their ability.
Arrest for legal burglary
Justin Wynn and Gary Demercurio were hired to conduct venezuela number data penetration tests — essentially real-world attacks — to see if they could break into a government building and gain access to computer systems. Their actions were coordinated with the state of Iowa and local law enforcement, which did not prevent the sheriff from arresting the experts.
Features of telemedicine
There has been a lot of talk lately about new treatment methods and the possibilities of telemedicine. Sometimes it is very convenient to send a message to a doctor instead of scheduling a visit to the hospital, but we should not forget that the security of data in the relevant applications may be at risk.
Useful puzzles
Matt Wixey enjoys solving puzzles not only because it's fun, but also because he believes it helps him solve problems and complex tasks. It seems that hacking also falls under this definition.
Breaking public opinion
Renee DiResta of the Stanford Internet Observatory has been thinking a lot about how state actors use the web to achieve their goals. In her presentation, she showed that China boasts a huge army of fake online accounts, but Russia’s online actions have been much more effective with less investment. The bad news: they still work. The good news: they use a chain of events that can be broken.
