Phishing i kako ga prepoznati

Phishing is a fraudulent practice of sending emails purporting to be from reputable sources in order to induce individuals to reveal personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers. Since anonymous payments through crypto coins (Bitcoin) are possible, phishing attacks involving requests for a ransom are getting very frequent lately. This presentation will provide an overview of phishing methods, attacker motives, usual attack vectors and real-world examples from recent history. Then we'll suggest and discuss best practices to detect phishing attacks.

Nikola Pavković received a master's degree after studying at Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (University of Zagreb) in 2006. He works at Information Systems dept @Rudjer Boskovic Institute since 2006 and has published a number of technical papers covering various topics related to information security. As a teaching assistant at FER, in scope of the "Advanced algorithms and data structures" subject, he held several classes about basic cryptography algorithms. In 2014, after defending his thesis "Penetration testing through social engineering" he got a specialist degree in Information Security.

Nikola Pavković diplomirao je na FER-u 2006. godine, a na IRB-u radi još od svojih studentskih dana, točnije od 2001. godine. U razdoblju od tada do danas objavio je više stručnih radova iz područja informacijske sigurnosti, a kao asistent na Zavodu za primjenjeno računarstvo, u sklopu kolegija "Napredni algoritmi i strukture podataka" predavao je osnove kriptografije. 2014. godine na specijalističkom studiju informacijske sigurnosti na FER-u obranio je specijalistički rad iz područja penetracijskog ispitivanja i društvenog inženjeringa.
