Accidental Abyss: Data Leakage on The Internet
Accidental Abyss: Data Leakage on The Internet
Thursday, November 21 • 10:00 am - 10:50 am
PII is personally identifiable information. In the information age, seemingly useless bits of PII can be found everywhere on the web from Facebook to Amazon to county records. Using purely legal methods and nothing more than artful searching I will show you the art of the low-tech, high-targeted recon. How much of your identity is scattered around on the internet? In this ambitious talk we will look at better hacking through television, how to combine crumbs to build thorough dossiers and learn some tricks on how to do some basic information reconnaissance. By the end of the talk you’ll have some frightening statistics, something good to think about and some tools that will make you a more effective social engineer, an aware user and a more thoughtful security expert.

Kelly has a BS in Computer Science from CSUSB. She was awarded a full academic scholarship from the National Science Foundation. In her senior year of college she took a job at EvidentData doing computer forensics. From there she fell in love with the dark side and purposely went in persuit of a career in computer security looking at the bleedy places where people and technology bruise. Kelly has worked at Symantec since 2003 and has two single-filer patents pending.
Kelly works at Symantec in the office of the CTO as a Manager for the Product Security Team. The Product Security Team is a dynamic global group that conducts secure code development training, penetration testing and vulnerability management for Symantec’s portfolio of 300+ products. As a member of the office of the CTO, Kelly engages in security research on mobility and embedded systems. Kelly is the facilitator for Symantec's Cryptography Review Board. In this role she helps to manage and build the cryptographic policies for Symantec Products.
In her spare time Kelly is a board member for Los Angeles OWASP, ice skates pitifully and constantly prepares with alternate plans and is usually worried about something.
