Mariana Rio Costa, a LMAC student, is a member of Team Europe, the winner of his year’s edition of the International Cybersecurity Challenge (ICC) that took place from 28 October to 1 November, bringing together in Santiago, Chile, some of the best cybersecurity talent in the world to compete and test cybersecurity skills.

During the three-day event, players competed in solving complex cybersecurity puzzles, involving classic Jeopardy challenges such as cryptography, reverse engineering and web exploitation, and a competition in Attack and Defense, where players are requested to defend vulnerable services through patching while exploiting vulnerabilities of other teams and eventually steal flags. Congratulations to Team Europe and to Mariana Rio Costa, LMAC student,  who is part of Team Europe.
