Icarus's Flight and Other Dangers of Being Among the Clouds

We will start this session by showing real world examples of how I rob banks & other places (like cloud data centers) via remote recon, walking in & phishing. We will then learn how I evolved to vishing with the help of AI. Because like it or not AI is transforming social engineering. Using tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot, attackers can make phishing and vishing attacks nearly impossible to distinguish from legitimate Interactions. This presentation will demonstrate how virtually anyone with a pulse can now use AI to craft sophisticated phishing sites and conduct vishing operations with unprecedented subtlety and effectiveness. These next-generation techniques are transforming the landscape of social engineering.
You will learn how to leverage these techniques to transform an organization’s, traditional, “security awareness” mentality into a “situational awareness” mindset. Using real-world examples, we demonstrate turning potential threats into teachable moments.
