Brazil Ethical Hacker Bags the First Position in EC-Council’s IOT Attack / Hacking May 2023 C|EH Compete Challenge

EC-Council, the world leader in cybersecurity certification, recognizes the competence of ethical hackers worldwide in the May 2023 C|EH Compete challenge: IoT Attack/Hacking, unleashed the power of the participants in hacking their way to the top of the leaderboard.

Tampa, Fla. (June 12, 2023) — Top ethical hackers from all over the world competed against their peers to secure the top positions on the leaderboard as a part of the EC-Council’s C|EH Compete Global Hacking competition, a monthly event that tests participants’ practical competence and knowledge in ethical hacking. The C|EH Compete challenges are incorporated in the course’s new learning model (C|EH® v12) to equip ethical hackers with job-ready skills. Hosted in EC-Council’s live cyber range environment, the C|EH challenges present new themes assessing students on their ethical hacking prowess and critical thinking abilities. By participating in scenario-based engagements, students demonstrate their expertise in hacking their way to the top of the C|EH Compete Leaderboard.

The May 2023 edition, based on the theme of IoT Attack/hacking, evaluated the participants on their skills in running vulnerability assessments in medical IoT devices and identifying weaknesses to prevent malicious hackers from gaining access to the devices. With the large-scale use of IoT devices in healthcare, the need to address IoT security risks has grown considerably, making the challenge theme industry-relevant and helping students gain exposure to the latest cybersecurity developments.

Competitors raced against the clock in the 4-hour, curated, capture-the-flag style competition, to secure the top 10 positions on the leaderboard. After a challenging competition, Heitor Magnani from Brazil emerged as the winner taking the first position, followed by Prajwal A from India securing the second and Marjan Sterjev from Macedonia the third.
