Talk: HORRORLARITY

Whether to laugh or to cry, or both at the same time? Working in IT security can lead to some very mixed emotions.
We will revisit some of the speaker's favourite security vulnerabilities, to laugh, and maybe cry, together. We will cover things like the app-enabled toilet with crap security, the shockingly bad smart grid system, and the open source repository that was really, REALLY open.
