Gone in 60 Milliseconds: Mobile devices, free WiFi and your data.

Details

Smart phones and tablets broadcast information that anyone can use to discover where you live, where you work and the places you go. Free WiFi networks allow attackers to intercept and alter your communications. This presentation shows a series of live demonstrations showing exactly how this is done and how easy it is. We show in real time what information the broadcasts your mobile devices send 24/7 reveal about you, and how attackers use fake WiFi access points and man-in-the-middle attacks to capture passwords, subvert VPNs, and install malicious software. The root causes of these issues are explored, and we present solutions, both simple and complex, to safeguard your data, your privacy and your identity.
