2013 December Holiday Party at Daily Grill in LA
Next OWASP Meeting
**NOTE: Date for this event **
7pm June 25, 2014 at Symantec offices, 900 Corporate Pointe, Culver City, CA 90230
Topic: Cashing Out – How Malware is Used to Attack ATMs
Recently a group of 10 criminals were arrested in Mexico for infecting ATMs with malware and, like a scene from a movie, emptying the ATMs of cash. A group of Ukrainian hackers were also arrested in China using another ATM infecting scheme. This talk will discuss recent ATM malware that has been discovered, how it works and how the attackers are leveraging infected ATMs.
Since the proof is in the pudding, Liam will bring a physical, one tonne, ATM for a demonstration of how these threats work in the real world, by dispensing cash via a text message!
Speaker: Liam O'Murchu
Liam manages a team of reverse engineers investigating the latest malicious attacks and analyzing cutting edge malware. He was formerly Manager of Security Response Operations for North America at Symantec, where he had responsibility for ensuring immediate response to computer security incidents of all size involving malicious software.

Upcoming OWASP Meetings
Topic: Securing the SDLC in the real world Speaker: Jim Manico
The earlier you address security in the engineering of software, the less expensive it will be for your organization. There are many who will tell you that you need to change all of your current processes around building software so it is more secure. Many of those forces are consultants charging high rates to help you deeply modify what you are doing today. This talk will will take the opposite approach. How can you add a few reasonable and mostly lightweight processes to how you build software today to make it more secure? Software development is like driving a boat. You need to look ahead make small changes to steer effectively.
