[vox-announce] Reminder: LUGOD meets tonight (Mon Jul 21): "Defensive computing"

[Bill Kendrick]

Just a reminder!  LUGOD meets tonight, Monday July 21st, at 7pm at the
Davis branch of the Yolo County Public Library, 315 East 14th St
(in the Blanchard Meeting room, as usual).

Tonight's topic is "Defensive computing: Information security for individuals".

This presentation will discuss security and privacy for individuals in
the context of current real-world threats. Topics will include the
basic principles of information security, threat modeling, and
practical approaches for developing a self-defense toolkit: minimizing
tracking (cookies and click tracking), avoiding rogue hotspots,
malware, and other threats to privacy and security.

Our speaker tonight is Adam Reiser, a UC Berkeley graduate in physics
and applied mathematics, who is currently working as a privacy and
security consultant.
