BSides DFW

Each BSides is a community-driven framework for building events for and by information security community members.  The goal is to expand the spectrum of conversation beyond the traditional confines of space and time.  It creates opportunities for individuals to both present and participate in an intimate atmosphere that encourages collaboration. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from participants. It is where conversations for the next-big-thing are happening.

Bobby Venal, Principal Security Researcher, and Sam Mayers, Security Researcher, from our Labs team will present: Clearing the FOG: Unveiling the Latest Ransomware Trickery

Presentation Description: FOG ransomware, a newly emerged threat in the cyber landscape, has been causing significant disruptions, especially within educational institutions. At Beazley Security Labs, our research team has been investigating this ransomware group since its appearance in May 2024 and we have conducted research to understand the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) employed by this new threat actor. In this talk, we will present our in-depth analysis and findings on FOG ransomware, shedding light on its origins, tactics, and the rabbit holes we have gone down.
