FC (FreakyClown)

He has been working in the information security field for over 25 years and is motivated by a drive to make individuals, organizations, and countries more secure.

Sessions
Criminals no longer rely on technical hacks alone – they increasingly rely on understanding people, and AI supercharges their ability to do it. In this engaging and accessible joint session, Dr Jessica Barker explains the human factors behind modern scams, while FC lifts the lid on the technology that makes them so convincing.
Together, they reveal how AI enables attackers to mimic colleagues, generate tailored messages, and create real-time deepfake interactions. Through live demonstrations and relatable examples, they show what makes these threats feel so authentic – and what we can do to reduce the risk both at work and at home.
Attendees will leave with clarity, confidence, and a practical sense of how to be resilient against AI-powered manipulation.
