Abstract:

HBGary is a security company that sells its services to various three-letter federal agencies in the US, but on Superbowl Sunday in 2011 they were completely compromised for poking the “Anonymous hive." And because Anonymous was intent on embarrassing them, detail of the attack was readily shared. As we walk through the attack in this presentation, you will see at least 5 distinct groups who contributed to HBGary's epic fail.

Key Points:
Security is everyone’s responsibility. From developers and sys admins, to managers and right up to the CEO, everyone has a role to play in the security of your environment.
