Speaker: Wayne Dorsey
If you’ve ever been hacked, or if you want to take steps to prevent yourself from being hacked in the future, this is the session for you! Wayne will share how he (a cyber security engineer) was hacked in just 2 minutes and had both of his businesses compromised not only financially, but also functionally. He will also share how he got out of it and what to do prevent it in the future. It’s easier than ever to get hacked, especially with AI becoming more accesible. If you want to learn how to protect yourself, join us for this talk!
Then we’ll open up the discussion: Have your business social media accounts been hacked? What happened? Any tips you want to share? Challenges you faced and how you overcame them?
