We hear a lot about deep fakes, ransomware, and swatting which have significant impacts on a company and the individuals targeted. However, criminals are continuing to expand on those methods as well as implement more methods to attack executives and the companies where they work.
Although we hear about the events, we don't hear how it's done- the before, during, and after activities to execute these types of attacks. We want to bring these shadow activities to light and help the security industry understand how these activities are done so they can better address the threats in planning and establishing protective measures.
Topics may include swatting-as-a-service, doxxing-as-a-service, ransomware-as-a-service, and litigation attacks.
