The speaker at this LogicLounge, Eva Galperin, is the director of cybersecurity at Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), which champions user privacy, free expression, and innovation through impact litigation, policy analysis, grassroots activism, and technology development. She will address the concerns of the malicious software which with an aim to monitor and control a targeted person is widely available on the internet for affordable prices. These capabilities can afford dramatic powers and control over an individual’s everyday life. Surveillance apps for private purposes are routinely linked to identity theft, physical injuries, sexual harassment, extortion and child abuse, among others.
The speaker will not only discuss the impact of the spouseware/stalkerware industry in the cases of domestic surveillance. She will also address the links between these relatively inexpensive products and the products sold to the governments. Lastly, she will address the possible technical, policy, and legal mitigations against the proliferation and use of these tools.

Her work is primarily focused on providing privacy and security for vulnerable populations around the world. To that end, she has applied the combination of her political science and technical background to writing privacy and security training materials and publishing research on malware in Syria, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, and Lebanon.
