Hackers Help. Responsible Disclosure in the Netherlands
Channel: Tek Tok
Date: 2014-06-24

Ethical hackers show vulnerabilities in information systems, without misusing them.There are guidelines for Responsible Disclosure, but practice shows every case has its own dynamics. Some organisations fix the reported vulnerabilities and reward the ethical hacker with a T-shirt or a new job; others stay in denial or respond with lawsuits. Some hackers go for full disclosure through the media; others help out behind the screens. 

Hackers, IT-managers, law enforcement and journalists all have very different perspectives on the matter, which determines the outcome of a case. Chris van 't Hof will demonstrate this with socio-technical story-telling, interviews with people involved and an actual disclosure at the conference itself.
