BSidesCLT 2026 would like to extend a huge thanks to our Silver Sponsor, Aikido Security!

Their sponsorship is not only a direct investment in the BSidesCLT conference, it’s a commitment to the success of the our community.

If a stranger approached you on the street and asked if you could unlock your phone and run a few commands you'd think they were a criminal or hacker, and you'd be right. Every day people are being fooled into click-fix attacks and it often works like this.

1. You visit a site and are requested to "verify" you're human.
2. A pop-up requests a user press Ctrl-R and enter commands.
3. Those commands, often PowerShell, pull down executables and setup remote access.

To avoid being caught by click-fix scams never accept advice from strangers and treat all sites with skepticism.
