Hack, Yeah! GT Team Takes Top Title

In what's billed as one of the premier hacking competitions in the world, a team from Georgia Tech took the top prize at the recent DEF CON 26 held in Las Vegas. “It's a three-day all-in-one cybersecurity lecture during which we can demonstrate our attacks, learn from the other's top-secret attacks by detecting them, and finally make our system secure by defeating such attacks,” said GT Computing alum and Oregon State University Assistant Professor Yeongjin Jang.
