How Hackers are Targeting Developers in 2024

We're always told to care about security. And we do. I think. Maybe? No definitely. Anyway, I'm not the server, so I don't need to worry too much. Servers get attacked. People via email get attacked - and I barely check my emails. Yeah. I'm good. Just don't write bad SQL code and I'll be good. Yeah, that's what my awareness training taught me. This talk is going to focus on what the attackers are doing to attack people with a specific focus on developers. There will be case studies. There will be screenshots. There will be gasps. There will be gnashing of teeth. Want to hear what's new in cyber attack land? Let's talk about it :)

About the presenter

Louis has written one of these for every /dev/world that has ever run (is that 16 now? Feels like it). He is a recovering developer who fell into security over a decade ago and loves the community and Apple products. Now he the lead Cyber Security Instructor for Lumify (formally DDLS) the #1 Cyber/IT/Process certification training organisation in Australia/New Zealand/Phillipines. He reguarly talks about development, security, brains, AI and whatever else comes to mind. He talks for a living. The trick is getting him to stop 😛.
