Meet The Hackers is a semi-comical face-to-face encounter with real-life hackers in a lunch-hour/brown-bag type setting. Through interactive demonstrations, our hackers show employees the scams (also known as social-engineering attacks) that hackers use to gain and violate employees trust. We then go back and replay the scams but only this time demonstrating how to detect and prevent these social-engineering attacks. The presentation also reminds the audience that these same scams are used both at work and at home, so by learning how to detect and prevent these attacks they are protecting their employer as well as their families and personal finances.
