[Music]
that’s a lot of love good morning my
mission today will be to tell you a few
stories real stories about cybersecurity
which relates to computers and phones
and so on but my dream would be that at
the end of the day besides acknowledging
that you understood the stories and
you’ll like them I would like to know
that you actually took action on the
downsides of cybersecurity and the
things that happen for instance you
already know who I am I’ve been
introduced Thank You Margaret
there’s also a section on the website so
you already know my name and you already
knew prior to coming here that I will be
presented here but do you think there’s
a slight chance that I know who you are
because people are tweeting hashtag TEDx
you join the Facebook event so I know
about 500 people joined there I know
exactly how they look like I don’t have
such a good memory but if I would I
would brag that I recognized you all and
so on so we already have a connection I
already know stuff about you and if I
would be a person that I would want to
do bad things with you in a financial
way
I would be able to do so so let’s get
started before we go to the ahead of
time section I’d like to see who
recognizes that particular car okay okay
fair amount which means that you’ve been
practically being conceived around the
80s and you probably have the computer
around 90s if I write which will make my
job easier because before we got to know
the future let’s look a bit at the past
at the present and then we’ll look at
the future so during the 70s the 80s and
in 90s
computer security was a bit different
but the ones that had a computer in the
90s we remember the downsides of having
your computer inspector – the virus I’m
pretty sure the average recipe was
reinstall everything from scratch and
start over because virus is back then
they had a single purpose showing you
that you’re stupid and showing – the guy
that wrote it how smart he is and they
were showing you how stupid you are by
deleting your files infecting your
computer infecting your friends
computers and so on and this is not only
to consumers to you guys even to
companies
imagine doing software development
working on a project for a month and
then this stupid virus comes in and
destroys everything and you have to do
it all over again and that’s why most of
the security companies started with in
90s because there was no protection and
there were plenty of viruses or malware
how we call it also since we’re in
Romania we were the best victims because
Bulgaria Ukraine and Russia were large
producers of malware and since the
internet was at its beginnings viruses
traveled geographically in other terms
by floppy disk for those youngsters here
it’s like that I don’t know a
perfect design a 3d model of the save
icon
that’s the floppy drive and you used to
carry data with that all right
wrong way for all the ladies in the
house this is what hackers look like and
even though it might not seem so from
this distance I have a six-pack as well
for all the young engineers that do not
get too much love this is how they look
in the adulthood so don’t worry about
there’s no stress there this is what’s
happening today we have good hackers and
bad hackers or but before actually
categorizing them in good and bad let’s
look at the definition of a hacker a
hacker is a very smart and curious
person thank you that wants to make a
ping that was designed to do something
to do something else for instance making
a coffee machine doing whiskey or making
your smart car baking eggs whatever
stupid examples but making something do
what its students supposed to do to do
something else like making your computer
be their computer in their language so
there’s this hackers smart people around
the world and as in the real life in the
cyber world you can turn good or bad
I’ve seen hackers making 1.5 million
dollars in a week I can’t it would take
me probably a week to count them as well
and I’ve seen hackers making much less
money but without sleeping with the risk
of being arrested the next day us the
good hackers were showing companies
where they have security issues and so
the company can fix themselves the bad
guys just make a lot of money which if
they manage to spend them or not that
will be their business but let’s look at
the ones wrong way again statistically
speaking 10% of the guys here right now
already had a date with a thing called
ransomware
don’t be shy all right I’ll tell you
anyway ransomware is a computer virus
designed by nowadays
the bad guys that once here they infect
your computer they encrypt your files
everything what’s in there and they will
ask a amount of money between $400 and
$1,000 to get your files back right now
you’re thinking here right like I’m
gonna pay sir let’s say you’re the vp of
marketing in a big company you’re rich
$400 is peanuts for you tomorrow we have
one of the most important board meetings
you have to do a summary of the KPI as
you have and the projection for the next
year so you’re googling looking for cute
pictures pie charts and then you get
this message saying all your files are
encrypted you need to pay $400 now five
hundred and fifty dollars to get them
back so this is speaking there’s a 50%
chance you will pay and by the studies
we did that people actually pay even
though some are in the world there’ll be
some good hackers saying I cracked this
you can use this free tool to get your
files back your first reaction is to pay
and I’ve seen personally in
investigations hackers making 1.5
million dollars in a week these are the
modern hackers they’re rich as stated
they look pretty good let’s move on
let’s go to political hackers this
person was hired for different political
parties to spy on the other parties so
let’s say we would look about the recent
debate Hillary versus Trump imagine
Hillary
hiring this guy so she will know in
advance every speech that trampled make
set up thousands of social media
accounts saying that Trump must not be
elected
I think that’s happening
and all the kind of stuff so the thing
is the downsides although he made a lot
of money he is now in jail and you can
imagine that there’s a lot of people out
there trying to get him killed
so now he sleeps like it says on the
quote with a bullet hood blanket under a
bullet was blackened in a bomb-proof
room people really want to kill him
let’s carry on nope you see the Internet
as you know it is a very interesting and
fun place it’s useful you have a lot of
information there’s a lot of cool stuff
you can do there what you don’t know
it’s about the hidden Internet which we
call the dark net or the dark web which
is like the underground economy for all
the hackers for the bad hackers where
they do where they sell drugs where they
sell weapons pornographic material and
this is the transition between the
digital world and the real world this is
where they actually sell crime services
you want to beat somebody there’s a
price here we just failed they’re going
to wear a GoPro while they do it
and they’re going to sell you they send
you the movie as an evidence so then you
can pay them this is real I’m smiling
because I have to smile because I’m
going to stage but this is actually real
and you can see bombing public person
family one two bodyguards and so on now
the sick justice of it is that if you
want to beat a child pornographer or a
rapist you get a 50% discount it’s sick
but it’s sort of a justice in a way all
right but remember the shootings that
we’ve seen in Germany and France this
year this is where they got some of the
weapons you go to this dark web you
purchase a weapon it’s fully anonymous
nobody will know who you are nobody will
know how much you spend and you get the
weapon delivered home either in a
computer case
or in a toy and so on things are real
now this is Stuxnet Stuxnet was
discovered publicly in 2010 and it’s
probably the first cyber weapon ever
discovered its purpose was to explode a
nuclear facility in Iran from the
physical work from the digital world
where we look at things like computers
yada yada yada
I don’t really much understand blowing
up a power plant with a computer virus
this is the world I live in and trust me
it’s a very interesting but then again
dangerous world and now I’ve show you
the past that showed you the present
let’s look at the future the Internet of
Things or as you look at it
things are devices that you have own you
right now which connect to the Internet
let’s make the following exercise I have
my business phone my personal phone I
have this thing here that I can control
computers my gesture which connect to
the Internet I have this other thing
here that measures my health activity
including beats per minute and steps and
so on these are all things that are
connected to the net and they live in
your network and even though you think
you know what they’re doing
sometimes by being in your network and
being so close to you people can take
control over them according to different
statistics there’s going to be between
25 and 50 billion such devices in the
world by 2020 now let’s presume now
we’re about 8 billion maybe are going to
be about 10 billion by 2020 so that’s
about 5 devices or person and nowadays
everybody’s trying to launch the product
nobody’s looking at security and
security and most Internet of Things
devices right now is a joke and if you
don’t believe me
I have two examples here crabs on
security is a blob of a well-known
security blogger past month he was
attacked by a DDoS attack a DDoS attack
means that there’s so many computers
trying to reach our website that your
website can no longer respond or your
server can upload can no longer respond
and the amount of traffic was about
500-600 gigabytes per second may I call
you a server for the first next 10
seconds I’m going to use him as an
example so sorry for calling the server
this is a hard drive that’s about 500
gigabytes so the DDoS attack would be
throwing this at his head every second
and seeing how long he’s going to last
that’s a DDoS attack the same thing
happened this Friday the same botnet
which is a which is like millions of
infected devices that do the same thing
at once managed to wrap put out of
service Twitter Spotify and another 6%
of the Forbes 500 companies you know
what devices were infected yeah I have a
lot of thing is my bands this is a
security camera right this device was
among the millions that put down part of
the Internet this Friday this routers
and other Internet of Things devices
this is the problem and this is the
world we’re living on now and that’s the
security things we’re going to face in
the next years another example how about
your fridge sending spam for instance
you just put stuff in it and you think
everything it’s cool and safe and so on
but in the meantime your fridge is
spamming half the world selling some
sort of enlargement pills and somebody’s
making money through your fridge yeah
maybe it’s not that important but who
here is a parent fair enough do you have
baby monitors
I’m scaring you already right these are
devices connected to the internet that
monitor your kids you can picture what
the scenario is I don’t have to say
anything about it anyways that’s about
it from my talk there is hope us and
other people the good hackers you can
call me tor are working for solutions
looking for solutions we have a solution
other people will follow so you don’t
need to despair what I’m trying to and
I’m stop going to start at the beginning
one more time I hope at the end of the
day you’ll realize the world we live in
the hidden cyber world and next time
you’re going to use a stronger password
you’re going to look at the or your IOT
device and they usually ship from China
with one two three four five six defiled
password it’s not a joke
they do there’s these things called
smart locks which you can lock er the
doors of house with your phone well the
thing is there’s been a test on five on
such devices four of them can be
unlocked by hacker in a very easy way
the fifth one was very very secure but
you can actually open it with a
screwdriver
so that’s redundantly thank you very
much
