Wayne and Sun Huang will unveil the attack chain of Russian-speaking cybercriminals. There will also be familiar names like Stefan Esser giving “An in-depth view into the iOS Kernel Vulnerabilities abused by PEGASUS”. Mahsa Alimardani, the Iran editor for Global Voices and Iranian-Canadian Internet researcher will explain the need to bridge the relationship between the practices of change actors and the decisions of technologists to ensure that they inform the technologies and digital security guidelines given to them - not the other way.
