First talk

The Great Recruitment Firewall

Speaker

Mariya Hristova

Synopsis

Spies are lurking everywhere, but especially in the hiring pipeline. Disguised as the perfect candidate to try and snag a position in a company where they can espionage away!

Recruitment is the first point of contact for all candidates so in this talk I will go over how I recognise fraudulent candidates without descending into unfounded bias. I’ll go over some recent examples and give some practical guidance of what you can do if you are not sure that the person opposite you is who they say they are.

Future talks

We’re still trying to build up a backlog of talks. If you’ve implemented a C2 on a smartwatch, want to walk us through the highlights of a CTF, or have some insight into the breakdown of security cooperation globally, we’re interested!

Drop a message to talks@dc4420.org with a title, synopsis and rough length, and don’t worry if you haven’t presented before.

We’re also happy to host other activities, like lockpicking, or demoing a new piece of kit, just let us know.

New location

We are no longer at the Phoenix! The next meeting will be at:

The Greene Man
383 Euston Road
London NW1 3AU

Closest stations: Great Portland Street, Warren Street, Euston.

We’ll start around 7:30pm as usual, but feel free to turn up from 6:30pm to settle in.
