MFA? Game over! Watch your protection collapse – live

July 10, 2026 15:00 – 15:30 · 30 min Stage 9

What this session covers

In a digital world where passwords and multi-factor authentication are considered impenetrable defenses, reality looks quite different. Every month, millions of attacks bypass these very security mechanisms. Yet, many still believe that MFA guarantees complete security. In this talk, I will demonstrate live how effortlessly passwords can be stolen and MFA mechanisms bypassed. And the best part? It’s free, can be set up and executed in just a few minutes, and becomes even easier with the use of AI. I will show that the biggest weakness is often not the technology itself, but the trust we place in it. However, there are solutions. When technological advancements and human vigilance work together effectively, the attack surface for hackers shrinks significantly.
