We Could Have Cracked Open the Network for Under $100

Explore a revealing conference talk that exposes the potential security risks lurking in decommissioned hardware. Delve into the findings of Tony Anscombe and Cameron Camp from ESET as they test the hypothesis that inadequate decommissioning processes may leave critical data accessible on secondhand devices. Discover the ease with which sensitive information can be obtained through the secondary hardware market, bypassing the need for complex exploits or spearphishing attempts. Learn about the types of data accessed during their investigation and understand the potential damage that could result from such vulnerabilities. Gain valuable insights into the importance of thorough data wiping procedures and the hidden dangers of improperly decommissioned devices in this eye-opening 44-minute presentation from the RSA Conference.
