Topic: Phishing 2.0: Beyond Identity Theft

This presentation will discuss the evolution of phishing from being a means of stealing user identities to becoming a mainstay of organized crime. Today, phishing is a key component in a "hackers" repertoire. It has been used to hijack online brokerage accounts to aid pump n' dump stock scams, and as a means of creating covert channels from compromised user machines to the Internet. During this talk, Mr. Belani will present the techniques used by attackers to execute such attacks, real-world cases that I have responded to that will provide perspective on the impact, and the corresponding countermeasures.
