DFS Seminar

Hi everyone! Sorry for the late update on the DFS Seminar!


There were in total four speakers for the DFS Seminar. There were guests from Singapore Police Force, Interpol as well as our very own TP graduate Hamzah who was an intern in Interpol.


Our speakers from SPF and Interpol talked about the rising cyber crimes in the world such that the demand for cyber defenders is getting higher.


A question about how to differentiate the higher and lower standards of criminals was asked. The answer from the SPF Superintendent was that those criminals who are caught thought that they could get away but actually they always left traces that could incriminate them and for those really higher standards criminals, they were never caught so their existence may not even be known. Therefore, it’s up to us to catch those higher standard criminals!


I don’t expect the world to be free of crimes but I believe that it could be done somehow! :-)


Anyway the best part of the DFS Seminar was towards the end of the seminar and after the seminar.


After the Seminar, we, the event helpers from C300 & C301, talked to Mr David and the whole conversation was GREAT! :-) It started by Mr David telling us how he managed to crack the code that I posted on face book and then he continued to tell us about the ways to decode a code.


Like example, RXNNBN, who knows what is that? If I tell you it’s NOT a country, then do you know what is it? Give you all a hint: Use frequency distribution! For eg, ‘E’ is the most common alphabet in a word.


Then Hamzah, the person who went for the internship in Interpol, came and talked to us and Mr David also. And do you all know that the only department in Interpol that does investigation is Financial and High-tech Crimes? Interpol doesn’t do investigation but they have one and only department in Interpol that does investigation! So cool right?


We talked for almost an hour. It was really a great conversation though I was the only girl left :-)


Here are some photos that we took!

Anyway that’s all for the DFS Seminar!

Jiayou everyone! :-)
