What's your mother's maiden name? How about the last four digits of your SSN? Some of the information that we use today to "keep us safe" can actually be quite easy for criminals to steal and assume your identity. How do you prepare yourself to stay safe online, especially with all the different ways to "unknowingly" share information that can be used against you?
Today "Social Engineers" work for organized crime, gangs or their own benefit and this session will focus on the exact information they want from you. We'll be joined this week by Barry Thompson, C.R.C.M., a trainer, consultant and writer for financial publications to demonstrate several successful attacks showing how even at your local coffee shop you can lose your identity to a skilled Social Engineer.
As a security and compliance "guru" with www.BankersOnline.com, Barry will teach you how criminals target your business and more particularly you when trying to obtain information or financial rewards. You'll also learn how your passwords, physical premises and family identification information can be compromised. But, the good news (yes, there is good news) is that with this information you can better prepare yourself and increase the chances your identity remains safe and secure. Don’t let the criminals socially engineer you into giving them financial information or worse financial access to your accounts.
Key Objectives
- Learn the six key pieces of information needed to steal someone's identity
- Learn how your passwords can be compromised without you providing it to someone
- Understand how to protect yourself on social network websites
- Know how someone can gain physical access inside your business and not be noticed
