the billion-dollar heist
Make history with us as we host a groundbreaking session where the architect of a billion-dollar identity heist and the U.S. Secret Service Agent who apprehended him unite for the first time. In this revealing session, delve into the life of Hieu Ngo, an identity theft prodigy and kingpin who, at just 15, embarked on one of cybercrime's most nefarious journeys. He masterminded one of the largest identity thefts in U.S. history, compromising over 200MM accounts and causing damages beyond $1.2 billion. We'll also uncover the unsung heroics of Matthew O'Neill. Taking the lead, Matt orchestrated a covert operation, even collaborating with a British felon, to entice Hieu onto U.S. territory and mitigate further threats to American citizens. Now, with Hieu's remorseful transformation into an ally, wielding his deep darkweb connections to combat fraud, both will shed light on today's cyber fraud dynamics and share strategies to fortify our industry.
