About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Have you ever wondered “What’s really out there about me?” or “Are they listening??” or “Are they tracking me???” Come to this session and learn about how much info about you is really out there and what you can do about it. We will touch on advance search tactics, combating data brokers (“what’s that?” come find out!), locking down your social media, as well as device hardening and secure communication tactics that will make you harder to pin down. Some technical knowledge a plus, but not required; open to all.
