Speakers

idont: 'Troublesome Trash'

What information do you leave in your trash? How can this information be used to attack you, your family, your workplace, or your friends? I will be talking about some dumpster diving after hard-drives that a friend and I did, what information we found, and (hypothetically) how we could have used this information to attack various people, families and companies. The talk will also include a part on how one can prevent these kind of attacks.

David Vaile: The #CensusFail debacle

The 2016 Census was already controversial because of privacy and identifiability concerns, and became a debacle on the night, identified by hashtag #CensusFail, when the online site was abandoned but left telling millions of people to ‘busy now, come back in 15 minutes’. With a Senate committee inquiring into what went wrong, this talk explores what we know so far. The speaker, as Australian Privacy Foundation rep, met with the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) about privacy concerns in early 2016, and engaged in ongoing attempts to unravel what was going on.
