- Cindy Murphy
- Tuesday, February 16th, 8:15pm - 9:15pm
In an Internet-connected world, national, state and local political conflicts and social issues such as officer involved shootings can quickly attract the attention of a worldwide audience. When hactivists become involved, concerns for critical infrastructure, network security, public safety, and individual officer safety can quickly arise. Det. Murphy will present information about various groups involved in hactivism, will discuss the history, motivations, and methods used by hactivists as well as providing case study examples of incidents where hactivism has led to real-world consequences, as well as providing successful strategies for successful investigation of hactivist incidents to identify responsible parties.
