It was my pleasure to join CIPS Vancouver Security SIG at their meeting on May 11 and give a talk about our research on Socialbots, and in particular, on the design and analysis of a social botnet (including its construction, operation, economic analysis, socio-technical challenges in defending against it, and potential research directions).
