    "Bot's the Story, Morning Glory?" Oasis Ticket Scalper Bots

    Netacea bot experts discuss the challenges around the Oasis reunion tour ticket sales, focusing on the issues caused by bots and scalping in high-demand events. The discussion explores the technical difficulties of managing ticket sales, the tactics used by bot operators to secure tickets, and the broader implications for the industry. The team also discuss why current methods to prevent bot activity often fail and why a multi-pronged strategy combining real-time detection, post-transaction analysis, and clamping down on secondary markets is critical.

  6. Validating AI Value, Securing Supply Chains, Fake Account Creation (feat. Cytix, Risk Ledger)

    Validating AI Value, Securing Supply Chains, Fake Account Creation (feat. Cytix, Risk Ledger)

    Netacea CISO Andrew Ash welcomes two special guests to the podcast this month to talk about AI adoption and managing third party risk: Thomas Ballin (CTO, Cytix) and Haydn Brooks (CEO, Risk Ledger). In 2023 the AI genie is well and truly out of the bottle, gaining mainstream attention and usage across business, academia and in day-to-day life. As a result, AI has become somewhat of a buzzword used to sell solutions or make products appear smart and modern. As mutual advocates of AI to solve problems more efficiently for clients, Andrew and Thomas weigh in on how to define “real AI”, which solutions really benefit from incorporating AI, and how we can validate these claims. Meanwhile, CISOs are rightly concerned with gaining as much control as possible over internal systems so that they can be secured against known and novel threats. But businesses are also reliant on their supply chain and third-party systems, which have their own potential vulnerabilities. Haydn has a wealth of experience in this area, and sheds light on the potential risks third party relationships expose and how CISOs can manage them whilst maintaining the value of these relationships. Finally, threat researcher extraordinaire Cyril Noel-Tagoe explains why criminals use bots to mass create fake accounts on web services, the other attacks these accounts facilitate, and how businesses can cut off fake accounts before they do their damage. Host Andrew Ash – CISO, Netacea Andy Ash has worked in IT Services and cyber for 21 years.

  7. Protecting Privacy in ChatGPT, Credential Stuffing Strikes 23andMe, Freebie Bots

    19/10/2023

    Protecting Privacy in ChatGPT, Credential Stuffing Strikes 23andMe, Freebie Bots

    To start this month’s episode, we once again weigh in on AI – this time considering the privacy implications when feeding prompts into generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Bard. We’ll discuss whether it’s safe to share company IP or your own personal information into such tools, before hearing how we approach this at Netacea from Principal Software Engineer John Beech. Next, we’ll look to the news of another major data breach, as it was recently revealed that millions of stolen records from genetics testing site 23andMe were available for sale from an underground forum. The attackers even touted that the data identifies those with Jewish genealogy. 23andMe held customers responsible for reusing their passwords on other sites that had been hacked previously, but where does responsibility for protecting this kind of sensitive information lie and what can each party do to keep data safe? Having spent five years of his career in biotech, Engineering Manager Karol Horosin has plenty to add to this story. Finally, our security researcher extraordinaire Cyril returns to tell us about freebie bots – a type of scalping bot that targets discounted goods to resell in bulk at retail prices. Sounds like a “prime” bot attack type to target recent and upcoming sales events… Host Dani Middleton-Wren – Head of Media, Netacea Dani is a cybersecurity writer and marketing specialist, who strives to decipher the mysteries behind complex cybersecurity subjects and deliver them to a wide audience.

  8. Skiplagging, CAPTCHA vs Bots, Scraper Bots

    14/09/2023

    Skiplagging, CAPTCHA vs Bots, Scraper Bots

    This month’s episode takes off with a journey into the controversial world of skiplagging, also known as hidden city flying. Airlines and holiday businesses are taking legal action against passengers and websites like Skiplagged that exploit pricing loopholes, leaving empty seats on the second leg of multi-stop itineraries. But with scraper bots at the root of the issue, is there a technical solution to limit the practice? On the topic of bots, a recent report from the University of California, Irvine, revealed that bots are now faster and more accurate than humans at solving CAPTCHA challenges. In this episode we discuss whether there is still a place for CAPTCHA in detecting bot traffic, and try to decipher Elon Musk’s comments about the report – Does it spell the end of bot detection, and is his X subscription model the only answer…? To conclude, we go more in depth on scraper bots – not only do they facilitate skiplagging, but there are endless uses for scrapers, both well meaning and malicious. How concerned should businesses be about scraper bots, and does their presence often indicate more sinister attacks on the horizon?
