What to do when someone close to you takes their life and you are not Tech-Savvy

Presented at May Contain Hackers (MCH2022), July 25, 2022, 10 a.m. (50 minutes)

My son Jurre and I got involved in helping less Tech-Savvy people find answers and recover precious data after someone close to them took their own life. This lecture describes our challenging and emotional journey as we hope to inspire others to follow our path. After several talks about Hardware Hacking this talk will be one on a more serious matter. After someone takes their life and the police closes their case, the next of kin may still have questions that are left unanswered. This talk is about our journey from being nerds helping out with computer problems to specialists trying to help the next of kin find answers to questions they might still have. We discovered in previous lectures that this story impacts more people in the audience than we expected, and therefore we would like the audience to feel safe and be able to interact without being recorded.
