Chief Security Architect and Cyber Security Researcher Rich Wickersham, joins Hosts George Rettas and Andrew Bonillo to talk about how Nation State Groups and Organized Crime Organizations are using social media platforms like LinkedIn to target users of the system for nefarious purposes. Wickersham explains how targeting occurs on social media platforms and how users can better protect themselves from adversaries who wish to exploit vulnerabilities in their profiles, as well as their professional lives. He goes into detail on how bad guys can use TUA AI models to mine unauthenticated users of LinkedIn to gather information and data that can later be used to blackmail them or attack the businesses they work for. Wickersham also gave his opinion on the recent announcement by LinkedIn that they have purged their system of approximately 21 million accounts, as well as his opinion of the traditional social media attract, retain, monetize (ARM) model.
