Joint Session: Dark Web Down the Rabbit Hole Marc Punzirudu, Presenter
We all remember Alice in Wonderland, and the upside-down world, where big is small and small is big. This session will take a deep dive into the inner workings of the dark web and explore the strange world where it is ‘normal’ to do bad things. See how easy it is to steal credit cards, find free tools to hack people and companies, buy credit card skimming tools and hardware. How about stealing people’s personal information? no problem. This session will help you understand what the dark web is and how it originated – to help you be aware and use that knowledge to protect yourself and your company from bad actors.
