You Saw the Ad. We Saw You : Weaponising Digital Ads for Covert Surveillance
This talk explores how the digital advertisements which we encounter daily on websites and apps can be weaponised as an intelligence source. We’ll demonstrate how ad networks can reveal population density as well as demographics in target areas without leaving forensic traces. We will also discuss how it is possible by agencies and companies to extract more personal level of information. Finally, we’ll examine how governments and agencies can exploit this invisible vector to gather insights effortlessly, evading conventional detection and defenses. At the same time we will also discuss strategies to safeguard from this whether at an organisational or individual level.
