Prism Break - The Value Of Online Identities.

Presented at DeepSec 2013 „Secrets, Failures, and Visions“, Unknown date/time (Unknown duration)

Online opinion making, blogging and journalism have developed a considerable market potential and turned into a source of revenue. With that online identities themselves have become valuable assets to possess - and thus targets for theft and fraud. At the same time internet users willingly share detailed private data on social platforms, resulting in in-depth-profiling and potential misuse. This non-technical talk illustrates in an easily comprehensible way the value of online identities in our modern internet relying society. It explains how information is processed, used and analyzed by internet platforms and how this opens vulnerabilities or fraudulent misuse. The final aim of the talk is to enable the audience to a better evaluation of #Neuland's territory in which Prism, search-engines, clouds and big data exist next door.
