Profiling Hackers - The Psychology of Cybercrime | Mark T. Hoffmann | TEDxHHL

Stop. Cyber. .by. Internet. Of. .all. Over. World

I will add one more thing from my experience. Human desire is a double edge sword, it helps you to be better but also take away your intelligence when you’re desperate.

good job, I was fascinating iwth the conference. Greets from Poland.

Hola

As an ethical hacker myself, I'm perhaps missing something about why he would lump anyone who's hacked as a malicious actor. Also, most "hackers," i know, have zero interest in social engineering. I also don't understand why he's conflating scammers with hackers.

Hackers mostly use fake authority bias

💯

Thank you for the great information

and that was a walkout

Have you ever though - there will be a huge damage and we will have to do something "now"? Just as when saving banks back in 2008, like COVID emergency, suddenly deter Russia (after years of war in Ukraine), save the climate (the planet or whatever shall be saved there) urgently. You may hurry to get yourself save, or reflect on what will happen first. Will we be burned by the sun, by a nuclear bomb or have to buy our bread with to plastic bags full of 10000 Dollar-Bills (the older of you will remember this time)? Make your kids and students have a strong faith in live and less frightened, or they are really lost in current cyberwar.

Cybercrime is an unfortunate reality of our interconnected world. I appreciate the way this talk shows the importance of education, caution, and proactive security measures. Remember, it's better to be safe than sorry

As someone working in IT security, this talk resonates with me. It highlights the constant efforts put into upgrading and renewing our security measures to stay one step ahead of cybercriminals. It's a never-ending battle, but we are determined to protect our systems and users from potential threats.

this video is pretty interesting, altho when I see those your netflix account has been suspended or something I don't even get mad they just pile up or I delete and block them, IMPORTANT TO CHECK WITH YOUR PROGRAMS netflix, amazon, best buy account, etc. always check them just simply log on and see if what's said in there email is remotely true, 99.9% of the time simply logging on is all the proof you need that they were scams

I'm a teacher and I can't tell you how helpful I found this talk... It sheds light on the evolving nature of cybercrime, which helps me better educate my students about online safety and the importance of practicing secure online behavior. It's an eye-opening resource that I'll integrate into my curriculum

This man is one of the best in profession.

Cybercrime: where hackers are the modern-day pirates, and the treasure they seek is your personal data. Ahoy, matey! Be prepared to defend your virtual booty with firewalls and an abundance of wit.

I'm being cyberstalked by some hackers. Oddly enough their my sisters friends and she hacks too me specifically. They leave behind too many digital footprints though

Wow, cybercrime is the real-life version of 'The Matrix.' I can almost see Neo dodging phishing emails and using his antivirus kung fu. Time to upgrade my digital sunglasses 😂

This talk has me really worried about my Nan. She's just starting to get involved in the digital world and I doubt she's aware of the risks of cybercrime. Guess I'll be sharing this with her and trying to educate them a little bit! 😅

Its extra special when its your family.

The example of the art of misdirection was crazy.... It's scary to think how hackers can manipulate us while explaining how we've been hacked.

The analysis of language to profile hackers is intriguing. It's amazing how small details like spelling can provide insights into their identity.

I feel like this talk is going to have me questioning every email I click and pretending I'm living in a digital spy thriller!

As a self-proclaimed cybersecurity ninja, I thought I knew it all. But this presentation humbled me. The world of cybercrime is like an ever-changing maze. Time to sharpen my katana and level up my firewall skills

I'm sorry but those examples of spelling behavior lol I can not 🙈🙈

I appreciate the emphasis on human error as the weakest link in cybersecurity... It's a reminder that even the most secure systems can be compromised if individuals are manipulated. We all need to be responsible for our actions online and understand there are consequences for them in the real world

The sympathy principle used by hackers is an interesting psychological tactic. Exploiting our trust and likability is a clever way to gain access to our sensitive information. We must be cautious and skeptical of unexpected sympathy

I always thought hackers were just in it for the money, but this presentation made me think differently. The thrill-seeking aspect and desire to challenge the system definitely adds another layer to their motives.

The hacker profile statistics were surprising. The fact that the majority are young, intelligent, and well-educated raises questions about why they choose cybercrime over legal avenues. It's a complex issue.

Phishing emails have become increasingly sophisticated, especially the way they play on our fears and the way they emulate an urgency to take immediate action. We all need to be cautious and double-check before clicking any suspicious links.

Thank you for this very informative and much needed presentation Mr. Hoffmann, quite a few of us need to be doing better at protecting ourselves.

oof, that misdirection illusion.... what a technique to divert our attention and eliminate critical thinking, making us more susceptible to their attacks... mind blown!

The analysis of language and behavior in profiling hackers is truly fascinating. It's amazing how something as simple as spelling a word differently can provide insights into someone's background and origin

It's really eye-opening to realize that cybercrime is not just a technical issue but a psychological and management problem... We need to focus on educating and empowering people to be the first line of defense against cyberattacks! Especially those who are a little older and can't necessarily spot when something is off...

The motives behind hackers' actions are quite intriguing. It's surprising that despite their intelligence and education, they choose the path of crime. Perhaps the thrill of beating the system and outsmarting authorities is what drives them.

The sympathy principle is a clever manipulation tactic employed by hackers. Exploiting our trust and natural inclination to help others makes us vulnerable to their schemes. It's a reminder to be cautious even in seemingly innocent situations

As the saying goes, 'amateurs hack systems, professionals hack people.' It's a reminder that cybersecurity is not just a technical issue, but also a human and management problem.

It's important to remember that cybercrime not only affects the victim, but also the perpetrator. Profiling hackers can help identify potential offenders early on and steer them towards more positive and legal pursuits.

Profiling hackers can reveal so much about their motives and psychology. It's interesting to see how their language choices can provide clues about their origin and personality.

It's alarming to learn that human error is the cause of over 90% of cyberattacks and security breaches. We need to better educate and train people to be more vigilant and aware of cybersecurity risks
