Join this session to hear their findings and learn about: - The leading DDoS and application-layer attack vectors used to target financial services institutions - Why criminals launch DDoS attacks against financial institutions, even when there’s little chance of success - The data points that tell criminals you’ve improved their odds for a successful account break-in - How the attack economy slices, dices, and exploits the massive troves of stolen logins you hear about on the news - The little-known phishing variant that resulted in almost $1.2 billion of losses in 2018
