Abstract

Many individuals feel after a pandemic that there's no hope. Cyberminds Research Institute (CRI) is of a different opinion. Cyber criminals attack those who are distracted with other life events. From the shadows of these attacks, comes light and opportunity. HOPE evolves from the knowledge gained after cyber-attacks occur. After the pandemic and now a near recession, cyber-criminals are enthusiastically attempting social engineering related to lower gas prices, rent relief, mask mandates, free vaccines, bogus shot cards, and free Covid-19 funds. This flood of attacks offers new avenues of cyber-attacks where organizations and individuals are easy targets due to the distractions of a post-pandemic climate. This workshop focuses on social engineering, teaching and learning as a result of banally successful cyberattacks, and the hundreds of unsuccessful cyberattacks. Leave with hope and a technique to successfully avoid social engineers attempting to diminish hope for a safe cyber tomorrow.
