The main topics covered in the divulgative/educational workshop

The workshop is divulgative/educational in nature and will focus on cyber blackmail where CyberCriminals aim to make direct gains generally in BitCoin and/or with other types of CryptoCurrencies.
The "recent" history of cyber-crime begins with the FakeGdF. At the same time the spread of Phishing emails trying to steal credit card credentials and/or bank/postal account access data, was growing.

Then ransomware came, capable of encrypting data files by demanding a CryptoC urrency ransom for de-cryption. Since the first half of 2018, Cyber-Criminals' extortion attempts have focused on SeXtortion through emails that brag about spreading unedifying videos of the recipient. Given the good results in terms of ransom collected, Cyber-Criminals have decided to use the SeXtortion approach to convey Ransomware.

It will conclude with a demonstration of an actual ransomware attack from GandCrab, conveyed through a SeXtortion email, showing its devastating effects and how to avoid them.

The workshop will be conducted jointly by:

Target audience for the divulgative/educational workshop

1. IT company technicians and computer system analyst:
2. End users especially SMEs.
