I was thrilled and honored to be invited to speak at Passcode’s booth at SWSW 2016 last week. My topic was “World Killers: Hackers, Cheaters, and Fraudsters In Online Games”. Readers of this blog are probably already aware of my very strong feelings about this topic (both as a cybersecurity professional as well as a gamer), and I’ve linked to the Youtube video of my talk below in case anyone wants to learn more.
Thanks again to Passcode for the opportunity, as well as the folks in the audience who asked such great questions, and who approached me after the talk to share their own concerns and experiences!
