Teen Hacks for Obfuscating Identity on Social Media - Russell Mosley and Samantha Mosely
Channel: 0xdade
Date: 2020-03-12

It turns out our kids were listening to our caution about privacy, social media, and opsec. There is widespread use by teens “sharing” social media accounts with friends, i.e., having friends post to shared accounts: multiple phones, multiple locations (even globally) to confuse social media applications and obfuscate their identity. They figured out how to share accounts without sharing passwords and methods for monitoring accounts and deleting abusers in the group. They use different accounts for interacting with different groups, like that one they share with “old people.”

Father-daughter presenters, Russell and Samantha, will discuss the pro’s and con’s of these methods and share insights on what teenagers have learned from parents and from each other about privacy and opsec.

Samantha Mosely (@Pr0d1g4) is a high school junior, an instructor for Girls Who Code, and recently completed her third summer working as an embedded software engineer for a defense contractor. Samantha competed in First Lego League in international competition and co-founded a Student Voice Council to change discriminatory policies against underrepresented student populations.

Russell Mosley (@sm0kem) has nineteen years’ experience in systems administration, IT operations, and information security operations and management. He is currently the CISO for a government contractor. Samantha and Russell volunteer at the BSidesDC Crypt Kids event and are organizers with BSidesCharm and the DEF CON Blue Team Village.
