Inside MormonLeaks: the why, the how, and the what

Presented at BSidesLV 2017, July 25, 2017, 3 p.m. (55 minutes)

MormonLeaks gained national recognition in October 2016 when private videos of conversations between the highest of Mormon officials were leaked on YouTube. Shortly thereafter, the organization launched a way for sources to securely, safely, and anonymously submit confidential church documents for later public release. The Mormon Church has a history of hiding things that directly effect it's membership, their neighbors, and local and national politics. With transparency as the goal, MormonLeaks is committed to remaining neutral and publishing all verifiable documents which they receive. Come listen to the lead engineer on the project talk about the organization's history, motivations, tech, mistakes, successes, and future.
