What Would Happen if CBS Got Hacked? [ML BSide]
Media companies probably get hacked no more than other, non-media oriented organizations such as hospitals, banks, etc. But these hacks are often more visible and more memorable because… well, media companies are more public facing by their very nature. How can these organizations be hacked, and why should we care about such attacks? Nate Nelson spoke with Joel Molinoff, former chief information risk officer for CBS Corporation, and Dan Vasile, former vice president of information security at Paramount.

Vishing: Voice Scams [ML BSide]
Authentication has come a long way since the 1980s or 90s. But when it comes to phone calls - we’re still in the Middle Ages. Vishing, or Voice Scams, are probably as old as the Telephone itself, yet it is still very easy to impersonate someone over the phone or spoof a phone call’s origin. Rachel Tobac is a hacker and the CEO of SocialProof Security, where she helps people and companies keep their data safe by training and pen-testing them on social engineering risks. Rachel spoke with Nate Nelson, our Sr. producer, about Vishing: how common is it, where attackers get the information they need to impersonate someone from, and the many many psychological tricks they can employ to fool the person on the other side of the call.

Hacking Stock Markets, Part 1
In any trading market, at any time in history, no matter where you are, the most important thing you can possess isn’t actually money, or influence, or anything like that. Knowledge -- in particular, knowing something before everybody else -- is far more valuable. Some traders are willing to go to great lengths to get it before anyone else. In some cases, they’ll apply great ingenuity to the problem - but in others, they’ll use manipulation -- hacking into these technologies to gain an unfair advantage, and make a fortune along the way.

Hacking Multi-Factor Authentication [ML B-side]
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is usually considered a better solution for authentication than just using passwords. But Roger Grimes, a veteran security professional, and a Data-Driven Defense Evangelist claims that the sense of security current MFA solutions provides us - is false.

Hacking Language Models
Language models are everywhere today: they run in the background of Google Translate and other translation tools; they help operate voice assistants like Alexa or Siri; and most interestingly, they are available via several experiential projects trying to emulate natural conversations, such as OpenAI’s GPT-3 and Google’s LaMDA. Can these models be hacked to gain access to the sensitive information they learned from their training data?
