WWHF @ Mile High 2025

Transhumans, individuals enhanced with technological augmentations, have moved beyond science fiction into reality. Historically viewed through medical or cyborg lenses, recent advancements like Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) and SMART technologies are blurring the lines between physical and biological entities. This shift is significantly impacting cybersecurity, as these augmented humans can execute sophisticated cyberattacks, such as URL redirections, phishing, smishing, and man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attacks, using embedded technologies. Traditional security measures are becoming inadequate in this new landscape, requiring a fundamental reassessment of cybersecurity strategies. The presentation will explore these emerging threats through demonstrations of implant-initiated attacks and emphasize the urgent need for advanced, layered security solutions to protect against the unique risks posed by transhumans.
