Threat Intelligence
In an era where digital privacy is constantly under threat, non-consensual intimate image abuse (revenge porn) has become a growing and deeply harmful form of cyber exploitation. This talk will explore the tactics used by perpetrators, the impact on victims, and the legal and technical measures available to fight back. Attendees will gain insight into how images are obtained, shared, and weaponized online, as well as strategies for takedown requests, legal protections, and proactive privacy measures. The session will also cover digital forensics techniques to track and identify offenders, methods for educating and empowering potential victims, and advocacy efforts to push for stronger legal frameworks. Whether you're a security professional, activist, or someone looking to protect yourself and others, this talk will provide actionable steps to combat cyber exploitation and reclaim control over digital privacy. Issues of combating stalking, catfishing and sextortion will also be discussed.
