About the event

CCTV and the Internet of Things (IoT) are becoming increasingly available and accessible, from doorbell cameras to connected washing machines and trackable drink bottles. As connectivity grows, perpetrators commonly target this technology because it is accessible and centralised. This information may reveal the survivor's location and personal activities, enabling monitoring and surveillance within the home or remotely. Depending on the product, there are different features and access points that can be exploited, raising significant privacy and safety concerns.
NOTE: This webinar is intended for practitioners and professionals who regularly support victim-survivors of domestic violence who want a better understanding about how technology is misused in domestic and family violence situations.
For all enquiries, contact the organiser.
