Session description

Speaker: Richard Jaletzki

What began as a massive flood of emails turned out to be a carefully orchestrated attack: mail bombing was used as a smokescreen, followed by targeted Teams vishing to gain access to a critical infrastructure organization.

In this session, we reconstruct the incident from the first signs of suspicious activity through to the complete investigation, offering an honest, behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to respond to a real-world cyber incident.
