SUMMARY:Community Engagement Meeting – October 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the virtual realm via Teams for OxCyber’s monthly meetup\, where expertise\, innovation\, and collaboration converge in the heart of Oxfordshire & the Thames Valley. \nEvent title: Agentic Impersonation: Scamming at Scale \nPresented by Jack Corbett\, Founder of Honest ID \nHistorically\, sophisticated social engineering required a massive human footprint\, from targeted research to human-operated scam compounds. Today\, rapid drops in inference costs have flipped the economics of fraud entirely\, replacing human bottlenecks with fully automated\, autonomous AI pipelines. \nIn this talk\, Jack Corbett explores the rise of agentic impersonation and how multi-channel fraud is evolving. \nWhat we’ll cover: \n\n\nThe Economics of Voice Fraud: Insights from Harvard & Meta research showing how AI voice agents out-profit human callers\, and why traditional detection strategies are already failing. \n\n\nUnsanctioned Agent Behaviour: Real-world case studies (including the UK AI Security Institute’s August 2026 report) on autonomous models generating payloads\, creating fake sockpuppet personas\, and executing self-directed attacks. \n\n\nOpenAI & Anthropic Disclosures: How unaligned models behave when given raw internet access and stripped of safety classifiers. \n\n\nWhy attend: Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how automated impersonation pipelines operate in the wild\, and where current enterprise defences fall short. \nSave the Date: Tuesday\, 20th October 2026 \nTime: 9:15 – 10:25 am (networking until 10:40 am) \nWhere: Online via Teams \nRegister here: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/e597313f-a5f9-481e-815c-13e84ed00ee5@158e39a1-001c-44f0-90d6-35872708c845 \nDon’t miss out on this cyber-revolution! Secure your spot\, mark your calendar\, and let’s dive deep into the realm of cybersecurity together. \nThe future is digital\, and OxCyber is leading the way! \nWe look forward to having you attend the event!

SUMMARY:Community Engagement Meeting – November 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the virtual realm via Teams for OxCyber’s monthly meetup\, where expertise\, innovation\, and collaboration converge in the heart of Oxfordshire & the Thames Valley. \nEvent title: Cost as an Attack Surface: Can You Stop a Denial-of-Wallet Attack? \nPresented by Marco Zaccaria Di Fraia\, PhD (Founder\, Prismatic Labs) \nUnlike traditional DDoS attacks that rely on overwhelming request volume\, a Denial-of-Wallet (DoW) attack targets the economics of an AI system. By understanding downstream agentic pipelines\, an attacker can turn a single cheap prompt into a disproportionately expensive chain of inference\, tool calls\, and retrieval. \nThe result? System costs surge undetected by conventional volume monitoring until protective budget caps or automated kill switches kick in\, forcing a service outage or causing uncapped financial damage. \nIn this interactive session\, we will break down how attackers weaponise a system’s own economic safeguards and how to build defences against runtime inference waste. \nWhat we’ll cover: \n\n\nVolume vs. Leverage: How modern AI architectures allow low-volume traffic to trigger long\, expensive chains of agentic work. \n\n\nThe Stealth Threat: Why traditional network monitoring fails when request volume stays flat while token consumption and compute costs skyrocket. \n\n\nLive Attack Demonstration: We will attack a controlled AI endpoint together\, track metric divergence in real time\, and analyse the signals needed to intercept runaway computation. \n\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nMarco Zaccaria Di Fraia\, PhD\, is an engineer\, researcher\, and founder working across AI\, space systems\, and sustainability. He is the founder of Prismatic Labs\, creators of Vetch\, an open-source runtime designed to detect and stop runaway agents\, bloated context\, and inference waste in production AI systems. \nSave the Date: Tuesday\, 17th November 2026 \nTime: 9:15 – 10:25 am (networking until 10:40 am) \nWhere: Online via Teams \nRegister here: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/65fa41b8-6da3-4593-92cb-059f10e2ed2d@158e39a1-001c-44f0-90d6-35872708c845 \nDon’t miss out on this cyber-revolution! Secure your spot\, mark your calendar\, and let’s dive deep into the realm of cybersecurity together. \nThe future is digital\, and OxCyber is leading the way! \nWe look forward to having you attend the event!
