Trust Issues - How Gen Z Attackers Hack Without Exploits

Learn how modern Generation Z attackers are revolutionizing cybersecurity threats by exploiting trust relationships rather than relying on traditional technical exploits in this 25-minute conference talk from BSidesMunich. Discover the psychological and social engineering tactics that younger hackers employ to bypass security measures, understand how they leverage human trust as their primary attack vector, and explore the implications of this shift from exploit-based to trust-based hacking methodologies. Gain insights into the evolving threat landscape where social manipulation and relationship exploitation have become more effective than traditional vulnerability exploitation, and understand how organizations can adapt their security strategies to defend against these trust-centric attack patterns.
