Frank Abagnale Speaks on Cybersecurity at Dubai Crypto Forum
Frank Abagnale, the infamous con artist whose life inspired the film 'Catch Me If You Can,' delivered a keynote at the Blockchain Life 2025 forum in Dubai. His lecture, titled 'Catch the Legend,' dissected modern digital fraud schemes and offered strategies for safeguarding personal data in an increasingly vulnerable online landscape.
The event, organized as part of RBC Global Talks, attracted roughly 100 attendees from finance and crypto sectors, including major digital asset exchanges. Abagnale's insights come at a pivotal moment as the industry grapples with rising security concerns amid institutional adoption.
Blockchain Life 2025 marked its 15th anniversary as Russia's premier crypto gathering, this year spotlighting Pavel Durov's unveiling of Cocoon—a new decentralized computing platform positioned as an alternative to existing infrastructure.
