Protect, Report, Recover: Confronting Evolving Digital-Asset Threats
Organised by the Digital Assets Association and supported by the Singapore Police Force.
Digital-asset threats no longer stop at malicious code and compromised wallets. Criminals are increasingly combining sophisticated social engineering, cyber intrusion, scams and physical coercion to target individuals and institutions.
With the support of the Singapore Police Force, the Digital Assets Association brings together experts from law enforcement, digital-asset security, blockchain investigations, compliance, physical security and the legal profession for a practical discussion on confronting these evolving threats.
Participants will learn how attack methods are changing, what organisations should do before and immediately after an incident, how to make an effective police report, what information victims should prepare, and how security, compliance, legal and law-enforcement teams can coordinate their response and recovery efforts.
Featured Presentations
The New Face of Social Engineering
Jag Foo, Chief Security & Policy Officer at Safeheron and Co-chair of Digital Assets Security Subcommittee, will examine how social-engineering tactics targeting digital-asset businesses and users have evolved—and the emerging attack methods organisations should prepare for.
SPF Cyber Command and Reporting Digital-Asset Crime
ASP Timothy Poon of the Singapore Police Force will introduce SPF’s Cyber Command and provide practical guidance on reporting cybercrimes and scams, including key considerations for cryptocurrency-related cases.
Wrench Attacks: When Digital-Asset Crime Becomes Physical
Ing Kerne Yeh, CPP from ASIS International Singapore Chapter will address the growing threat of physical coercion and “wrench attacks”, including their implications for digital-asset holders and businesses.
