Highlights from the Black Hat Asia 2018 program so far include:
- Research on a remote ransomware attack on iOS and OSX platforms, possibly the first ransomware detection on these Apple platforms that were immune to the infamous WannaCry attacks.
- Compromising mobile payment systems with a vulnerability that allows an attacker to remotely make purchases on victims' phones without their knowing.
- Hacking widely used software libraries with a talk that calls attention to vulnerabilities that could affect billions of devices within the next five years – including products using Chrome, Android, iOS, and Windows as well as software used by popular companies including Audi and BMW.
- Mobile hacks, including a vulnerability found in Android 8.0 and research surrounding eMMC & UFS security, one of the critical but mostly overlooked areas in mobile security that could have a massive impact on mobile platforms security and privacy of every day users.
- Vulnerabilities affecting devices we use every day including attacks on embedded devices such as wireless keyboards to extract personal data, and cyberattacks on IoT devices that span everything from webcams to routers. Researchers will also explore vulnerabilities associated with QNX, an operating system found in many sensitive devices spanning medical, automotive and industrial sectors.
- Bypassing security devices in PCs, laptops and servers during sleeping states by neutralizing Intel TXT; and research around vulnerabilities associated with ARM’s TrustZone, which is present in nearly every modern Android device.
