This showed up in my inbox today with the following description:
These vigilante-style, politically motivated attacks are meant to embarass executives by publicizing their secret dealings. What can authorities do to go after those behind these illegal activities, and how can corporations better protect themselves so incidents such as those that happened at the NSA, RSA, Twitter, PayPal, Sony, Pfizer, the FBI, a number of police forces, the U.S. military and many other entities, doesn’t happen to them? We’ll take a deep dive.
Registration requires far more information than I am willing to disclose for a “free” eSymposium so someone else will have to fill in the details.
I can offer advice on defeating hacktivists:
- Don’t make deals that will embarrass you if made public.
- Don’t lie when questioned about any deal, information, etc.
- Don’t cheat or steal.
- Don’t do #1-#3 to cover for someone else’s incompetence or dishonesty.
Is any of that unclear?
As far as I can tell, that is a 100% foolproof defense against hacktivists.
Questions?
