Fear of Fog Presentation for Geo Ignite

•

0 likes•688 views

I presented this talk at Geo Ignite in San Francisco. It's about an experimental video game that I developed while an art student in San Francisco. It's sort of Zelda-meets-Geocaching: you have to explore a virtual game world to talk to people and learn a bunch of stuff, but the game uses your GPS to move you around the virtual world. It also uses realtime weather services from wunderground.com to overlay the real-world weather & fog conditions onto the virtual map.

In the thrilling conclusion to 2023, ransomware groups had a banner year, really outdoing themselves in the "make everyone's life miserable" department. LockBit 3.0 took gold in the hacking olympics, followed by the plucky upstarts Clop and ALPHV/BlackCat. Apparently, 48% of organizations were feeling left out and decided to get in on the cyber attack action. Business services won the "most likely to get digitally mugged" award, with education and retail nipping at their heels. Hackers expanded their repertoire beyond boring old encryption to the much more exciting world of extortion. The US, UK and Canada took top honors in the "countries most likely to pay up" category. Bitcoins were the currency of choice for discerning hackers, because who doesn't love untraceable money?

From their humble beginnings in 1984, TED has grown into the world’s most powerful amplifier for speakers and thought-leaders to share their ideas.
