HPT participated in workshop “APT: Modern authentication attacks and solutions”

Over the past few decades, passwords have played an integral role in securing communications, but this is an imperfect solution and contains many risks for users such as:

- The number of passwords is getting more and more complicated.
- Hacking methods of hackers are increasingly diverse and sophisticated.
- More and more dependence on devices such as laptops, smartphones.

There are many authentication methods replacing weak passwords, such as SMS, Smart OTP, email... but still have hidden risks and can be attacked by modern methods.

Understanding the situation, on 16/02/2023, at Rex Hotel, 141 Nguyen Hue, Ho Chi Minh city, HPT participated in workshop “APT: Modern authentication attacks and solutions” which was held by Ho Chi Minh Computer Association (HCA). The workshop aims to bring to guests a new approach in disabling modern authentication attack, avoiding identity stealing.
