Day 2 Keynote

Micah Lee (@micahflee.com @micahflee@infosec.exchange)

I’m an information security engineer, a software engineer, an investigative data journalist, and an author. I use he/him pronouns, and my name is pronounced “my-kah.”

I started the Lockdown Systems Collective where I help develop an open source app called Cyd that helps people claw back their data from Big Tech.

I worked for The Intercept for a decade, where I was director of information security. I also used to work as a staff technologist at Electronic Frontier Foundation, and I helped co-found Freedom of the Press Foundation. I did opsec for journalists while Edward Snowden was leaking NSA docs to them.

I’m the author of “Hacks, Leaks, and Revelations: The Art of Analyzing Hacked and Leaked Data”, a hands-on book that teaches journalists, researchers, and activists how download, research, analyze, and report on datasets. (No prior experience required.)

I develop open source security tools like OnionShare and Dangerzone. You can check out my GitHub activity (here).
