The Privasec Red Team participated in Missing Persons Capture-The-Flag for Trace Labs/ AustCyber – The Australian Cyber Security Growth Network Ltd. In what is considered a world’s first, over 80 teams and 356 ethical hackers used Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) skills to track down people who have gone missing. Our team members managed to place 2nd in Victoria and 5th place nationally. All the leads were passes onto the federal police for further investigations via the National Missing Persons Coordination Centre.
Privasec’s Red Principal Consultant, Ryan Broadfoot, was also interviewed by ABC radio at the event. Listen to the full interview here:
Our team is honoured to have been a part of this experience and collaboration, and to apply their skills for such a meaningful cause. A big shout out to Founder and CEO of Missing Persons Advocacy Network (MPAN), Loren O’Keeffe for her work at (Should we use ‘with’ instead) MPAN. MPAN has been doing a great job in creating awareness for missing people and in providing support to their families and friends.
