Students: this is a hybrid event. You are strongly encouraged to attend in-person. Location: STEW G52 (Suite 050B) WL Campus. Everyone knows that multi-factor authentication (MFA) is more secure than a simple login name and password, but too many people think that MFA is a perfect, unhackable solution. It isn't! I can send you a regular phishing email and completely take control of your account even if you use a super-duper MFA token or smartphone app. I can hack ANY MFA solution at least a handful of different ways, although some forms of MFA are more resilient than others. Attend this presentation and learn the 12+ ways hackers can and do get around your favorite MFA solution. The presentation will include a (pre-filmed) hacking demo and real-life successful examples of every attack type. It will end by telling you how to better defend your MFA solution so that you get maximum benefit and security. About the speaker: Roger A.
