Hacktivist campaigns and those that just want to look like them are back in full swing, and barely a week goes by without news of another group popping up to boast and promote their latest bounty.Īll of this, in addition to the looming risk of COVID-19 infections, will drive much of the conversation at panels, workshops, in the hallways during the conferences, and we’ll be there to cover as much of it as possible.
Russia’s use (and non-use, depending on who you ask) of cyber tactics in its war and the rise of information operations going both ways are a key theme of the moment, as well as China’s continued aggressive hacking campaigns around the world with the specter of an invasion of Taiwan ever present. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s historic visit to Taiwan triggered a wave of cyberattacks. Thousands of cybersecurity professionals will gather on the Vegas Strip nearly six months into Russia’s war in Ukraine, two-and-a-half years into the COVID-19 pandemic and less than two weeks after U.S. A trio of cybersecurity conferences - BSidesLV, Black Hat USA and DEF CON - kicks off this week in Las Vegas in what’s collectively known as Hacker Summer Camp, bringing together policymakers, executives, experts, hackers and enthusiasts against a backdrop of some of the most unsettled international events of recent years.
