Spyware for rent & the world of offensive cyber (Keynote)
Fred Raynal | TBC
Abstract
Uncover the world of the spyware industry! From government-backed espionage to corporate surveillance, spyware is no longer the tool of secret agents—it's for sale to the highest bidder. We'll explore how the spyware economy thrives, its role in global diplomacy, its growth depending on the countries' needs and capabilities, and how companies operate like digital cockroaches—constantly evolving despite legal crackdowns.
