The Threat Is Inside The House

Friends and family ask for assistance installing WiFi or configuring smart devices in the house. They are now asking for help ‘fixing my situation.’

The very same Internet of Things (IoT) which are installed for convenience can form a gilded, velvet-lined cage with an Alexa or Siri voice.

We will discuss how the community can apply information security (InfoSec) principles and scientific (forensic) principles to assist domestic abuse victims in cutting the electronic cord to their abuser. The counterintelligence mindset should be applied to the domestic situation- what can be gathered, what sources and methods can be used against a person in their own house, and how to detect the threat.

The talk will discuss the use of social media to detect physical surveillance, technical countermeasures for surveillance devices, lessons learned with forensics…and the ways to protect oneself against leaving data behind.
