SESSION DESCRIPTION
Tomorrow’s Threat is Here Today
This presentation looks at a new type of attacker: one whose attack tools are implanted in the body. Subdermal microchip implants can be used as covert attack platforms. They carry no external hardware and cannot be found by physical inspection. The session includes live demonstrations of five transhuman attack vectors, showing how implanted technology can be used to phish, clone credentials, pivot and exfiltrate data. Each attack gets past traditional physical and technical controls.
The presentation then looks at how artificial intelligence and wearable technology are changing the threat landscape for the casino and gaming industry. Smart glasses, earbuds, rings and other connected devices can now calculate, record and relay information in real time. They also look just like everyday consumer electronics. This makes it much harder to detect and prevent cheating and advantage play.
The final section covers the legal and regulatory side of the problem. Health, disability and biometric privacy laws protect implanted and medical devices and the data tied to them. These laws also limit what operators can ask about, inspect or restrict, so the protections designed for the public can end up protecting criminals. The session closes with practical recommendations for security, surveillance and compliance teams so they can respond to these threats within current legal limits.
