Theme: Social Credit - Why should it matter?
This year’s fair is focused on Social Credit, inspired by China’s ‘Once Untrustworthy, Always Restricted’ Social Credit System. According to the Supreme People’s Court of China, 6 million Chinese citizens had already been banned from airplane flights for social misdeeds in early 2017; this number will only grow. How does this apply to cybersecurity? We have Internet-connected devices in our homes, cars, pockets, and even on our wrists – the data gathered by these devices is used to build a profile of the user that can be abused – not only by hackers, but even by the companies compiling the data. What happens when your DNA test or sequencing results are associated with your online identity? We will highlight these concepts along with traditional security issues like social engineering, phishing, and wireless hacking during our fair.
