Anatomy of a Crime: Secure DevOps and Darknet Early Breach Detection

Watch a 42-minute USENIX LISA18 conference talk exploring darknet criminal activities and their implications for secure system development. Delve into the intersection of cybercrime and system security through a detailed examination of real-world data breaches, including the Roman Seleznev case and a major retailer's breach settlement that pioneered mandatory darknet monitoring. Learn how criminals exploit Point of Sale (PoS) system vulnerabilities, particularly focusing on RAM access and plain text memory buffer risks. Discover critical security considerations for operations and infrastructure developers to implement when building systems to prevent darknet-related breaches. Presented by Dr. Sarah Lewis Cortes from Salesforce, gain insights into the growing challenges of child abuse forums, intellectual property theft, narcotics, and carding activities on the darknet, and understand their implications for modern system security architecture.
