Hello lists, I thought you guys might be interested in this meeting tomorrow. Hope to see you there! Cordially, Kurtis Begin forwarded message: Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2015 22:18:28 -0500 From: Christopher Burg <christopherburg at christopherburg.com> To: cryptopartymn at lists.riseup.net Subject: [CryptoPartyMN] Meeting Tomorrow Hello denizens of the CryptoPartyMN mailing list, We’ve been pretty bad at sending out meeting notifications to you. I’m going to work on fixing that. But I will also point out that meetings will be posted on our website now so you can see them here: https://www.cryptopartymn.com/ Tomorrow’s meeting, which starts a 6:30, will be held at The Wedge Table (not to be mistaken with The Wedge). The site has a link to the place on Google Maps. At first this meeting was planned to be mostly focused on organizing our next CryptoParty but I’m planning on brining something more fun for your entertainment. By now many of you have probably heard about the Hacking Team breach, For those who haven’t, Hacking Team is a company that sells surveillance malware to tyrannical regimes such as Sudan, Ethiopia, and the Drug Enforcement Agency. Their internal network was breached and 400GB of data was released to the Internet including exploitation code. I’m collecting a sort of “best of” list from the data. At tomorrow’s meeting I will be discussing the need for good security by showing the very bad security practices done at Hacking Team (I’m not even joking, there were login credentials stored in plain text files and the credentials used terrible passwords to boot). So join us for some planning, some laughs, and some serious discussion on why terrible security can no longer be accepted. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
