ICS0018 CotW seminars

=== The idea ===

The Crook of the Week seminars are meant for student presentations/talks about famous social engineers of the past. Each seminar will host up to
'''four 15-minute presentations''' by different students, plus discussion. The main points of the presentation are
* to introduce the person (biography)
* to explain the motivation behind his/her actions
* to study the ''modus operandi'' (ways) of social engineering by this person
* to outline the main human weaknesses the person exploited (cognitive biases, automatic thinking etc)
* to summarize the main lesson the person teaches us

A successful presentation will result in passing the course if the attendance criteria (5 out of 8 lectures and seminars) is met. To register a presentation, please send an e-mail to Kaido, stating the chosen time and person to cover. '''There are only 16 presentations in total - first come, first served!''' Others would have to resort to other tasks to pass the course!

=== The Crooks ===

Note: the list is not exhaustive - feel free to suggest others!

* Carlo Ponzi

* Frank Abagnale Jr
* Mark Abene (Phiber Optik)
