News reports on doxxing (the practice of researching private or identifying information about someone online, typically with the intent to publicize it) have increased exponentially over the last several years. While most of these reports focus on exposed individuals involved in high-profile or controversial current events, these same investigative methods are used by bad actors every day when researching targets for tailoring spearphish and other human-based attacks. Since many of the public records and social media resources used for this research fall outside the scope of the workplace, keeping corporate users safe requires arming them with education they can keep using when they leave the office.

This session will:

• Provide an introduction to doxing
• Share what tools attackers reach for first
• Show how researching as an attacker teaches valuable skills to make a harder target.
