Online Privacy:  Why should you care?

Presented by /script

Zoom logo Synopsis: Online privacy concerns have been increasing year after year, but many people ignore the consequences of not actively protecting their information. So much information about our lives is harvested and yet, we have become accustomed to this invasion of privacy. Cal Poly ./script (Security, Cryptography, Reverse Engineering, Incident Response, and Penetration Testing) investigates how our online actions are being tracked, how our information is used against us, and how we can protect ourselves.

 A hacker's new home:  Your Body

Presented by FAST

Zoom logo  Synopsis: Biohacking has been a topic explored in science fiction and other stories for many decades. But due to recent breakthroughs in technology, these concepts are now becoming more and more feasible for many of us. Cal Poly FAST (Forensics and Security Technology) plans to explore how personal medical devices are making their way into many people's everyday lives and how cyberattacks on these devices are an emerging threat. These attacks could target personal health information, or even a person's current location. In our presentation, we will show how a person using the FreeStyle Libre, a popular glucose monitoring device, can have their physical location tracked through Bluetooth and have sensitive information exposed to anyone within the broadcast range.  TBA

Preventing Ransomware from invading your home

Presented by Chaffey

Zoom logo Synopsis: Ransomware is an ever-evolving form of malware designed to encrypt files on your devices, turning them into hostages while making your devices unusable. Malicious actors then demand a ransom. The worst ransomware actors often target and threaten to sell or leak exfiltrated data or authentication information if the ransom is not paid. So, what does that mean for you? Hackers take advantage of security weak spots like the recent PrintNightmare vulnerability to steal sensitive data and/or lock files. These criminals will only give you the key to access your system, or return the files, once you’ve paid their ransom. Chaffey College will teach you the fundamentals to protect your data and help mitigate the risks associated with ransomware   TBA

Risks of loT:  How Vulnerable is Your Home?

Presented by SWIFT

Zoom logo Synopsis: 30.9 billion IoT devices are expected to be connected by 2025. With the continuous integration of smart technologies in our everyday lives, it is critical for the next generation of cybersecurity specialists to understand the impact of vulnerable Internet of Things devices. Join us as Cal Poly Pomona’s very own SWIFT (Students With an Interest in the Future of Technology) breach into common IoT devices found at home and demonstrate the risks they bring. TBA
