Hackers challenged to break into police equipment and drones at DEF CON
Police robots, drones and electronic car systems are at the mercy of hackers at the first DEF CON convention in Singapore. The event aims to get more people ethically hacking, to make systems more secure and to build a broader cybersecurity community. DEF CON is a decades-old hacking convention that started in the US. The inaugural Singapore edition has brought in exhibitors including government agencies like HTX and the Centre for Strategic Infocomm Technologies. Industry-led groups for specific sectors like car and maritime cybersecurity are also involved, to raise awareness of the risks unique to each field. We spoke with DEF CON's founder, Jeff Moss, for more on ethical hacking.
