Hi Stephan.

As promised, the Italian SecSum is over and I've been able to speak with
Sharon Conheady (Cc'ed) along those days.
Yes, we'll make it by April 1st (but, a grace time would be highly
appreciated, since I'll be travelling no-stop until April 9th.).

Here's an index proposal: if you give us your OK, we'll start to work.

·         Abstract

·         Introduction to Social Engineering

·         Social Engineering along the years

·         Social Engineering in today’s security & privacy threats

o   The business-model beyond cybercrime and Underground Economy
(related to Spam, Phishing & Identity Theft)

·         Social and Economical impacts

·         The typical targets

o   Money approach (phishing, counterfeited goods, money laundering from
Underground Economy)

o   Generic ID theft approach (Facebook, e-mail, etc..)

·         Countermeasures

·         Bibliography, references


As you may see we haven't send you an abstract, since we think the above
index reflects much more the idea of what we want to talk about.
Obviously, this index may be expanded as well.
Cheers,
Raoul
