iCloud hacking, Microsoft bounty winner at Hack in The Box security conference #HITB2013KUL
Next week in Malaysia security conference Hack in The Box Kuala Lumpur is set to make headlines in its 11th year with talks on hacking airline systems, getting iCloud data access, and the Microsoft bounty winner.
Hack in The Box has a reputation for featuring explosive talks from security researchers whose findings often sound like the basis for dramatic movie plots.
Among the eyebrow-raising presentations is Hugo Teso, who will talk about real life aviation security exploits that could seize an airplane's controls in mid-flight and control an aircraft remotely. James Forshaw's talk on XML digital signature forging just became hot: he's the the UK hacker who nabbed the first Microsoft $100,000 bug bounty when he revealed security holes in Windows 8.1 Preview - using a thin sheet of gold in a new mitigation bypass technique.
