This is not a presentation where I talk about how I would get in or the things I might be able to do. This is a talk where I am already in and I show you pictures from actual engagements that I have been on. They say one picture is worth a thousand words I show you how one picture cost a company a million dollars and maybe even a few lives. In a community where we focus so much on the offensive I also make sure with every attack I highlight, I spend an equal amount of time discussing what would have stopped me. We need to know the problems but we need more talks providing solutions and that is what I hope people will get from mine. I show the dangers of Social engineering and how even an employee with no SE experience can be an eBay James Bond then cause total financial ruin to a company. These Security threats are real. So are these stories!
