(25 minutes).
Cybersecurity often focuses on the threats posed by malicious criminals or government surveillance, but for survivors of intimate partner abuse, surveillance begins at home. This talk will cover the frequently-overlooked threat posed by abusive partners, attackers who often have physical access to and considerable intimate knowledge of their victims.
Galperin will focus on the latest developments in intimate partner surveillance using Apple products, including stalkerware, abuse of location-sharing and other data-sharing settings, and Apple's recently-debuted physical tracker, the AirTag.
