Risks of some new precious connected devices
With the growth of modern media and AI technologies, have you ever wondered what damage could be done if a picture of your eyes ends up in the hands of a malicious user?
In this presentation we dive into threats of exposed biometric data, show how the data can be obtained and abused by malicious users, and what damage can be done once their data is exposed. Such compromised identities are already used in financial crimes, to bypass modern security systems and procedures and also in public opinion manipulation campaigns - which can include critical events, street protests, and elections. But the impact of our exposed data is set to go beyond these in the coming years, and in this talk we discuss the difficulties and work-arounds for these emerging threats.
